BSB Race 1:

Bradley Ray started Race 1 from pole position setting an increadible lap to beat out Josh Brookes who seemed to have regianed some feeling that he was mssing with his Yamaha earlier in the year. Glenn Irwin completed the front row taking on the role of lead rider within the Paul Bird team he looked to handle the extra pressure in his usual cool and calm style. The rest of the top 10 rounded out as follows Jake Dixon,Leon Haslam, Dan Linfoot returning after 9 weeks out with a broken neck,Luke Mossey ,Danny Buchnan,Michael Laverty and the second Honda rider returning from injury Jason O’Halloran.

Bradley Ray took the holeshot from Glenn Irwin and Josh Brookes but behind them Michael Laverty, rookie Andrew Irwin, Dan Linfoot and Jason O’Halloran were all involed in an incident cauing them to crash out on lap one at the second corner this brought out a safety car, Christian Iddon and James Ellison were also involved both riders ending up at the back of the field.



The safety car came in on lap 4 and it was Glenn Iriwn and Brad Ray who looked to be the class of the field in race 1 early on with both taking off after the safety car Ray initially looking to have the superior pace but Irwin coming back at him closing the gap unfortunately for Ray he dropped the Suzuki on lap 10 an unusual mistake from the 21 year old that left Irwin alone at the front of the race.

Leon Haslam who had a slow start to the race regrouped mid race and set an astonishing pace closing down Irwin at the front hand over fist eventually taking the lead on lap 14 and never looking back from there taking the win ahead of Irwin who seemed to use the best of his grip early in the race, Behind the front two Josh Brookes and Jake Dixon were having an impressive battle all race figthing for the final podium spot with Dixon evenutally taking the position the position swapping three times in the final 2 corners.



There was a great battle from 5th place down Danny Buchan beating out impressive rookie Taz MacKenzie in 6th place Senior TT winner Peter Hickman brought home his BMW in 7th place just missing out on 6th. The top 10 was closed out by James Ellison, Chrisitan Iddon and Richard Cooper an impresive result from Ellison and Iddon after they were involved in the first lap incident.

Race 2:

Glenn Irwin started from pole for race 2 he was joined by the unlucky Brad Ray and race one winner Leon Haslam on the front row, Starting on row 2 was the resurgent Josh Brookes with Jake Dixon and James Ellison completing row 2 completing the top 10 for race 2 was Tarran MacKenzie, his brother Taylor MacKenzie, Danny Buchan and Peter Hickman.



Jason O’Halloran was declared unfit to ride after the race 1 incident as was Luke Mossey who lost the front brake on his Kawasaki and had to ditch the bike at the end of the back straight, Andrew Irwin was forced to drop to the back of the grid as he was at fault for the incident in race 1.



Ray got the holeshot again from Brookes and Dixon despite Ray’s quick start Brookes quickly made his way to the front and in the early laps he was setting the pace looking comfortable at the front he was leading a group of 5 at the front for the early stages of the race with with Ray,Dixon,Haslam and Irwin all included. On lap 10 the group got broke up when Irwin made a pass on Ray only for the Suzuki man to try and repass losing the front of his bike in the process and taking both riders out.

That incident spilt up the front group with Brookes and Haslam breaking away and battling it out for the lead of the race Brookes looking far more confident and comfortable than he has all season taking the fight to Haslam when it looked like the Kawasaki man would take off like he did in race 1, DIxon had fallen off the back of these 2 becauase of the Ray/Iriwn incident but on lap 15 he seemed to have saved some of his rear tyre grip and was able to attack the front 2 making it a 3 way scrap for the win on the final lap.

In the end it was Haslam who took the win in what was a breath taking finish Brookes made a move into the final corner and he and Haslam touched on the home straight somehow Haslam maintained his momentum but Brookes lost out to Dixon over the line.

Behind them an impressive Dan Linfoot brought home his Honda in 4th place a great return from injury he beat out Buchan and Hickman with Cooper, Iddon, Laverty and an impressive Andrew Irwin bringing home the Ducati in 10th after starting at the back of the grid in what was his first finish in the Superbike class

That win is the fifth in a row for Haslam and gives him a considerable lead at the top of the title table over his nearest rivals with Bradley Ray failing to score points and Shane Byrne out injured Haslam is looking every bit the title favourite at this stage of the season.

Fastest Lap: 1″47:660 Leon Haslam
