Ten riders set for Title Fighter decider as Mackenzie wins the Pirelli Race of Ace

Tarran Mackenzie celebrated victory in the closest Bennetts British Superbike Championship race finish of the season so far, winning race three at Snetterton by just 0.048s from Tommy Bridewell to secure the Pirelli Race of Aces trophy. The pair have confirmed their Title Fighter status in the Showdown, but with three races remaining next weekend at Silverstone, ten riders remain in contention to land the final four places. The battle for the Title Fighter position intensified in Norfolk as the pack concertinaed in the standings after today’s two races. Christian Iddon’s fifth place in race three made him the fourth rider to be confirmed for the final three-round Showdown, with Peter Hickman just missing out by a single point as he prepares to cement his position at Silverstone next weekend. The second race of the weekend was another three-way scrap at the front between the McAMS Yamaha pairing of Jason O'Halloran and Mackenzie, as Oxford Products Racing Ducati’s Bridewell again locked horns with the boys in blue. O’Halloran upped the stakes after losing out to the pair yesterday, emerging ahead following an intense last lap battle with his two closest rivals. Bridewell had managed to split the teammates by half race distance after O’Halloran ran wide at Wilson, but the championship leader was soon attacking the Oxford Products Racing Ducati contender to regain the position. In the closing stages, O’Halloran had taken the lead on lap 13 with a decisive move at Wilson on Mackenzie, but the pair had Bridewell pushing them both until he had a moment at Coram when he caught his knee slider on the grass. He saved a crash, but just lost a few hundredths of a second to the leading pair ahead of the final two laps. On the penultimate lap, Mackenzie held the lead, but O’Halloran fought back at Brundle to take the position. However, it wasn’t over and on the final lap, Mackenzie regained the advantage on the brakes into Agostini. O’Halloran was piling on the pressure and made his move at the end of the Bentley Straight, then defended hard to take the chequered flag by 0.305s from Mackenzie, as Bridewell claimed a consistent third place. A dramatic race three eventually featured the same trio tussling for the podium positions, as Mackenzie dealt his rivals a winning blow in an intense five-lap dash following an earlier red flag, to secure the Pirelli Race of Aces trophy. When the race got underway, Mackenzie launched to the front of the pack with a lightening start from pole position to lead Gino Rea and O'Halloran into Riches for the first time. However, championship leader O’Halloran was back ahead of the pack by the end of the opening lap as Bridewell had also pushed Mackenzie down the order into third. By lap five, Bridewell had seized the advantage at Riches with a decisive move on his McAMS Yamaha rival and he was able to fend off the teammates over the following laps before the race was red flagged on lap nine. Danny Buchan’s SYNETIQ BMW suffered a technical problem at the end of the Bentley Straight and as a result of losing fluid, he crashed heavily with Lee Jackson and Andrew Irwin also caught up in the incident. Jackson was unable to make the five lap restart due to damage to his FS-3 Racing Kawasaki, which puts him in a precarious position as he remains in eighth overall in the standings. The race restarted with a five-lap sprint to the chequered flag, but Mackenzie again got the lead off the start ahead of Rea, but the Buildbase Suzuki rider was soon under attack as Bridewell and O’Halloran both moved ahead. On the second lap, Bridewell launched his bid for the win, taking the lead into Brundle to hold the McAMS Yamaha riders behind him. Mackenzie was not defeated though; he made a move on Bridewell at Agostini on the penultimate lap to reclaim the lead with the pair going head-to-head on the final lap for the victory. A mistake from Mackenzie at Nelson wasn’t enough to give Bridewell the opportunity he needed to take the win and just 0.048s separated the pair at the chequered flag with O’Halloran completing the podium line up. Defending champion Josh Brookes equalled his best result of the season with a fourth and sixth place finish today as he bids to claw back the advantage, with 13-points now separating him from eighth in the standings. Peter Hickman and Buchan hold fifth and sixth place in the standings after the pair both had a challenging weekend in Norfolk. ‘Hicky’ bounced back from tenth in race two and having to start from the back row of the grid following an issue on the grid in race three, to secure seventh for FHO Racing BMW. Honda Racing’s Glenn Irwin also endured a difficult weekend, meaning he now has just a seven-point margin over Lee Jackson, with the pair holding the final two positions inside the top eight ahead of next weekend’s crucial three races at Silverstone. Bradley Ray, Brookes, Ryan Vickers, Rory Skinner, Andrew Irwin and Gino Rea are all outside the coveted top eight, as the focus moves to Silverstone, where the final four riders who will fight for the 2021 crown will be decided next Sunday. Bennetts British Superbike Championship, Snetterton, Race 2 result: - Jason O'Halloran (McAMS Yamaha) - Tarran Mackenzie (McAMS Yamaha) +0.305s - Tommy Bridewell (Oxford Products Racing Ducati) +0.885s - Josh Brookes (VisionTrack Ducati) +2.046s - Gino Rea (Buildbase Suzuki) +2.979s - Lee Jackson (FS-3 Racing Kawasaki) +3.033s - Ryan Vickers (RAF Regular & Reserve Kawasaki) +6.422s - Andrew Irwin (SYNETIQ BMW) +6.473s - Rory Skinner (FS-3 Racing Kawasaki) +8.972s - Peter Hickman (FHO Racing BMW) +10.857s Bennetts British Superbike Championship, Snetterton, Race 3 result: - Tarran Mackenzie (McAMS Yamaha) - Tommy Bridewell (Oxford Products Racing Ducati) +0.048s - Jason O'Halloran (McAMS Yamaha) +0.952s - Gino Rea (Buildbase Suzuki) +1.152s - Christian Iddon (VisionTrack Ducati) +1.322s - Josh Brookes (VisionTrack Ducati) +1.515s - Peter Hickman (FHO Racing BMW) +1.790s - Dan Linfoot (TAG Honda) +2.516s - Bradley Ray (Rich Energy OMG Racing BMW) +2.620s - Kyle Ryde (Rich Energy OMG Racing BMW) +4.138s Bennetts British Superbike Championship standings after Snetterton: - Jason O'Halloran (McAMS Yamaha) 399 - Tarran Mackenzie (McAMS Yamaha) 293 - Tommy Bridewell (Oxford Products Racing Ducati) 261 - Christian Iddon (VisionTrack Ducati) 239 - Peter Hickman (FHO Racing BMW) 224 - Danny Buchan (SYNETIQ BMW) 174 - Glenn Irwin (Honda Racing) 161 - Lee Jackson (FS-3 Racing Kawasaki) 154 Tarran Mackenzie - McAMS Yamaha Pirelli Race of Aces winner “It’s been an amazing weekend and I didn’t expect it after crashing at Cadwell Park. We started really strong in first free practice and the bike felt really nice all weekend and allowed me to ride it how I wanted. "It was great to win yesterday, I felt like I could have done it again this morning but Jason just got the better of me and then I bounced back with another win in a five lap sprint. "It was important to get a lot of podium points and to have a successful weekend with one round to go before the Showdown is key. "We move on to Silverstone now which is a great track for me, I love it there and the way the bike is working at the moment I’m sure we’ll be up the sharp end and battling for wins and podiums.” For more info checkout our dedicated British Superbikes News page Or visit the official Bennetts British Superbike Championship website www.britishsuperbike.com Follow us on social media: Instagram: @superbikenews Twitter: @sbknews Facebook: @superbikenews

Hickman denied the home hat trick by O'Halloran but crowned Milwaukee King of the Mountain

Peter Hickman was denied his first ever Bennetts British Superbike Championship triple victory in race three at Cadwell Park, when a last lap mistake gave Jason O'Halloran the opportunity he needed to grasp the lead on the final lap to celebrate his first win at the Lincolnshire circuit. Hickman had a spectacular start to the weekend, claiming Faye Ho’s FHO Racing BMW team their first Superbike race win yesterday. The local legend was then able to carry the momentum into the second race of the weekend, despite coming under pressure on the final lap from standings leader O'Halloran. O’Halloran got a tremendous launch off the line in race two, leading the pack on the opening lap but Hickman was instantly on the attack. However, it wasn’t until lap nine that he could make a pass on the McAMS Yamaha rider, diving down the inside on the brakes at Mansfield. Hickman continued to try and break his rivals, edging out an advantage over O’Halloran but the Australian reeled him back in over the final three laps. The McAMS Yamaha rider was within striking distance on the final lap, but despite piling on the pressure, Hickman had the edge at the chequered flag. The battle for third was initially between Christian Iddon, the region’s fastest plumber Lee Jackson, and the Irwin brothers, but disaster struck for the VisionTrack Ducati rider when he crashed out of third at Charlies on lap four. Jackson then had the upper hand, but Tommy Bridewell was storming through the pack after another bad start, running in eighth on the opening lap. The Oxford Products Racing Ducati rider first moved ahead of Glenn Irwin, and then hit a top three position with a decisive pass at Coppice on lap 14, pushing Jackson back to fourth. Bridewell was able to break the group behind him, but reigning champion Josh Brookes had been building momentum throughout the race from his fourth row start, and was able to force his way through to fifth. The lone VisionTrack Ducati rider held off Glenn Irwin, who was then embroiled in a fight with his brother Andrew, as the pair exchanged blows, but it was the Honda Racing rider who had the edge. Andrew Irwin’s seventh place put him just ahead of rival BMW rider Bradley Ray. Ryan Vickers, still feeling sore after his high-speed qualifying crash, was ninth as Storm Stacey returned to the top ten. Tarran Mackenzie was watching from the sidelines after the McAMS Yamaha rider decided to sit out today’s races after breaking his finger in his race one crash yesterday. In the final race, O’Halloran hit the front to take the initial advantage off the line, but by the time the pack had reached Park, Glenn Irwin went for a move down the inside to grab the lead. O’Halloran was then pushed back into third place when Hickman made a move on lap three, before the FHO Racing BMW rider was able to take the lead at Mansfield two laps later. Bridewell again had one of his bad starts off the pole position, which dropped him down to fifth on lap one, but by the sixth lap, he had wrestled his way through into third place. The leading trio remained the same as the previous two races with Hickman and O’Halloran ahead of Bridewell, until the closing stages. Hickman managed to save a big moment on the final lap, but it meant that he lost momentum at Coppice. O’Halloran seized the opportunity and made a decisive move down the inside at Charlies. O’Halloran was able to hold off a counter attack to score his first race win at Cadwell Park, and with it claims the Milwaukee Summer Grand Slam Trophy. Hickman meanwhile took second place and his highest points’ score of this round crowned him Milwaukee King of the Mountain. The battle for fourth was between Brookes and Jackson, which went down to the wire. Brookes had made a spectacular pass on Jackson and Glenn Irwin in the early stage of the race to move into fourth. Brookes continued to defend hard from Jackson, but the FS-3 Racing Kawasaki rider was able to match his best season result, making a move with three laps to go to push the Australian back a position. Today’s fifth places marks Brookes’ best result of the season in dry conditions. Glenn Irwin held off Iddon to claim sixth place with Ray in eighth, but dropping out of the top eight in the standings by just two points. Andrew Irwin and Vickers completed the top ten. Bennetts British Superbike Championship, Cadwell Park, Race 2 result: - Peter Hickman (FHO Racing BMW) - Jason O'Halloran (McAMS Yamaha) +0.155s - Tommy Bridewell (Oxford Products Racing Ducati) +0.817s - Lee Jackson (FS-3 Racing Kawasaki) +1.672s - Josh Brookes (VisionTrack Ducati) +7.384s - Glenn Irwin (Honda Racing) +10.159s - Andrew Irwin (SYNETIQ BMW) +10.605s - Bradley Ray (Rich Energy OMG Racing BMW) +10.758s - Ryan Vickers (RAF Regular & Reserve Kawasaki) +12.567s - Storm Stacey (Team LKQ Euro Car Parts Kawasaki) +24.172s Bennetts British Superbike Championship, Cadwell Park, Race 3 result: - Jason O'Halloran (McAMS Yamaha) - Peter Hickman (FHO Racing BMW) +0.203s - Tommy Bridewell (Oxford Products Racing Ducati) +2.332s - Lee Jackson (FS-3 Racing Kawasaki) +5.832s - Josh Brookes (VisionTrack Ducati) +6.004s - Glenn Irwin (Honda Racing) +8.953s - Christian Iddon (VisionTrack Ducati) +9.351s - Bradley Ray (Rich Energy OMG Racing BMW) +9.669s - Andrew Irwin (SYNETIQ BMW) +10.135s - Ryan Vickers (RAF Regular & Reserve Kawasaki) +17.308s Bennetts British Superbike Championship standings after Cadwell Park: - Jason O'Halloran (McAMS Yamaha) 342 - Christian Iddon (VisionTrack Ducati)  223 - Tarran Mackenzie (McAMS Yamaha) 223 - Tommy Bridewell (Oxford Products Racing Ducati) 205 - Peter Hickman (FHO Racing BMW) 200 - Danny Buchan (SYNETIQ BMW) 165 - Glenn Irwin (Honda Racing) 154 - Lee Jackson (FS-3 Racing Kawasaki) 133 Peter Hickman - FHO Racing BMW Race 2 winner “Race two was certainly a harder race than yesterday, although it is never easy around Cadwell Park! “I was watching my pitboard and was up to 0.7 and then I had a little bit of arm pump, but I saw Jason was getting closer and I could hear him out of Charlies! “I knew I had to be a bit more defensive but not compromise my speed. I got away with it towards the end but it was fantastic to make it a double. “To say I am disappointed to have not made it a hat trick would be an understatement, but it was my only mistake all weekend in the third race. “It cost me the race, so that was frustrating but I am pleased I was able to save it, as the rear came right around at 120-140mph! “That gave Jason the chance and I thought about having a lunge back, but I just wasn’t close enough. “Two wins and a second place, plus Milwaukee King of the Mountain, so I am really pleased with a fantastic weekend for the FHO Racing BMW team as that is a big point’s haul for the championship.” Jason O'Halloran - McAMS Yamaha Race 3 winner “It’s been an amazing weekend. I know we’ve done some triples this year, but that win means a lot to me. "I have wanted to win here for a long time, it’s the closest thing I’ve got to a home round and over the years I’ve had a lot of local support from both the fans and people sponsoring me so it’s a special place for me and I’m really pleased I could do it. "The whole team have done an awesome job this weekend, we were up against it with the weather so we had to use the races to figure out a setting. Each race the bike was better and in the last race the bike was the best it’s been all weekend. "The pace was so fast, fair play to Peter he was setting a really good place at the front but I never gave up, hung on for as long as I could and went for the opportunity when it arose. I’m really pleased with the weekend and can’t wait for Snetterton.” For more info checkout our dedicated British Superbikes News page Or visit the official Bennetts British Superbike Championship website www.britishsuperbike.com Follow us on social media: Instagram: @superbikenews Twitter: @sbknews Facebook: @superbikenews

Hickman claims FHO Racing BMW their debut win at Cadwell Park

Peter Hickman became the sixth different race winner of the 2021 Bennetts British Superbike Championship season, claiming FHO Racing BMW an emphatic first race win in the series in front of a rapturous home crowd at Cadwell Park. At the start, Jason O'Halloran hit the front of the pack, narrowly moving down the inside of Glenn Irwin with Hickman holding third. However, by the time the pack had reached Chris Curve, Glenn Irwin had taken the lead for Honda Racing. Irwin was trying to break the field; edging out an initial gap of 0.8s over the opening laps, but behind Hickman had made a decisive move on O’Halloran to move into second. By the seventh lap Hickman had reeled Irwin back in and the advantage had vanished. Irwin made a small mistake to run slightly wide and Hickman didn’t need an invitation as he dived through to take the lead. Hickman then unleashed a series of fast laps, breaking the lap record with a time of 1m:26.350s, to gap O’Halloran and Irwin, before taking the chequered flag in front of an ecstatic crowd. However, the podium fight wasn’t over and whilst O’Halloran had moved into second, Irwin was soon under pressure from Tommy Bridewell. The Oxford Products Racing Ducati rider had left it to the final laps to carve his way through, taking no prisoners to grab the final podium place on the penultimate lap to push Irwin into fourth. Christian Iddon was able to get to the front of the next pack, moving ahead of Lee Jackson and Andrew Irwin in the closing five laps. Ryan Vickers, who set the fastest ever lap of Cadwell Park yesterday, was eighth as he bounced back from a high-speed crash in qualifying. Rory Skinner and Josh Brookes completed the top ten ahead of tomorrow’s two races. Bennetts British Superbike Championship, Cadwell Park, BikeSocial Race 1: - Peter Hickman (FHO Racing BMW) - Jason O'Halloran (McAMS Yamaha) +2.080s - Tommy Bridewell (Oxford Products Racing Ducati) +3.729s - Glenn Irwin (Honda Racing) +4.348s - Christian Iddon (VisionTrack Ducati) +4.529s - Lee Jackson (FS-3 Racing Kawasaki) +4.617s - Andrew Irwin (SYNETIQ BMW) +5.253s - Ryan Vickers (RAF Regular & Reserve Kawasaki) +7.120s - Rory Skinner (FS-3 Racing Kawasaki) +8.084s - Josh Brookes (VisionTrack Ducati) +9.729s Bennetts British Superbike Championship standings after Cadwell Park Race 1: - Jason O'Halloran (McAMS Yamaha) 297 - Tarran Mackenzie (McAMS Yamaha) 223 - Christian Iddon (VisionTrack Ducati) 214 - Tommy Bridewell (Oxford Products Racing Ducati) 173 - Danny Buchan (SYNETIQ BMW) 165 - Peter Hickman (FHO Racing BMW) 155 - Glenn Irwin (Honda Racing) 134 - Bradley Ray (Rich Energy OMG Racing BMW) 115 Peter Hickman - FHO Racing BMW BikeSocial Race 1 winner “It is mega to win here! We have had a bad run of luck and that race was perfect. I knew I had the pace for the race, as the FHO Racing BMW has been fantastic. “It was pretty much a perfect race in the end. I saw Jason and Glenn making some moves to start with but I felt I had more pace than they did, so I just settled in at the start. “I managed to pull a clean move on Jason at Mansfield, which is always tricky there! I then needed to get Glenn and fortunately, he made a mistake, so I was able to take advantage at Barn and that gave me what I needed. “This is such a tough track, so it feels even better to win! I had to keep my concentration and not make any mistakes, so to be leading until the chequered flag felt like an eternity. “I am so happy for Faye, and to get our first win here for the team at their home round, was great. It is only our first season, and with all these fans all the way around the circuit, it made it even more special. It has been an awesome day.” For more info checkout our dedicated British Superbikes News page Or visit the official Bennetts British Superbike Championship website www.britishsuperbike.com Follow us on social media: Instagram: @superbikenews Twitter: @sbknews Facebook: @superbikenews

Iddon claims first Bennetts British Superbike victory in dramatic Snetterton opener

VisionTrack Ducati’s Christian Iddon claimed his first victory in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship at Snetterton this afternoon, becoming the third different race winner of 2020 following a dramatic opening race in Norfolk. Josh Brookes got off to a flying start with the pack instantly on the attack and Danny Buchan had grabbed the lead as the pack hit Wilson for the first time with Iddon in second. However, a crash on the opening lap for Andrew Irwin, and his stricken Honda Racing Fireblade in the middle of the track at Agostini, caused the deployment of the BMW Safety Car. The pack lined up with Buchan, Iddon, Brookes, and Jason O'Halloran the leading contenders; but when the race went green on lap four, Buchan crashed his Massingberd-Mundy Kawasaki out of the lead at Palmer, putting him out of contention. Iddon then had the lead and he had begun to edge out an advantage, but as the race continued the chasing pack had reeled him back in and Bradley Ray was soon into second for the SYNETIQ BMW team ahead of Brookes and Tommy Bridewell. The battle for the podium places went down to the wire and Iddon had the margin he needed to claim his first win, but behind the pack had shuffled again and Brookes and Bridewell had managed to get back ahead of Ray. Brookes was able to hold off an equally determined Bridewell to the chequered flag as they completed a Ducati podium top three, but Glenn Irwin was in the fight too. Read the full article
