Josh
Brookes claimed the Monster Energy King of the Mountain title at
Cadwell Park by winning the second Bennetts British Superbike
Championship race of the weekend in Lincolnshire and put himself back at
the top of the standings ahead of Oulton Park.
In the opening race of the day Brookes launched off the pole position
into the lead on the opening lap from Danny Buchan, Jason O’Halloran and
Tommy Bridewell. However, Oxford Racing Ducati’s Bridewell was
instantly trying to make a move and dived ahead of O’Halloran on lap
three.
Buchan was all over Brookes, but it wasn’t until the eleventh lap that
he could make a move, which he did at Mansfield to snatch the lead. The
FS-3 Racing Kawasaki rider continued to try to break away from the
chasing Ducatis of Brookes and Bridewell, and at the chequered flag he
managed to edge a gap of 1.047s.
Brookes kept Bridewell at bay as Scott Redding missed out on a debut
podium at Cadwell Park. The Be Wiser Ducati rider was able to carve his
way up through the field in a hard-fought race, running tenth over the
opening laps before scoring a strong fourth place.
Peter Hickman had been chasing down Redding; the pair able to take
advantage of a mistake from Christian Iddon who had been running fourth,
but ran off track on the final lap and managed to salvage sixth place.
O’Halloran was seventh as he held off the second Tyco BMW of Glenn Irwin, who led his brother Andrew to the chequered flag.
Ryan Vickers completed the top 10 for the RAF Regular & Reserve
Kawasaki team ahead of Luke Stapleford and Gino Rea, who impressed on
his debut with Bike Devil Sweda MV Agusta.
In race two Bridewell got off to a flying start, firing the Oxford
Racing Ducati to the front of the pack ahead of Brookes and Buchan, with
the BMWs of Hickman and Iddon in close pursuit.
The drama started early in the race, with Andrew Irwin colliding with
Redding on the second lap, sending them both crashing out of the race.
The Honda Racing rider was penalised with two penalty points for contact
causing a crash which means, having reached a cumulative five penalty
points, he will start from the back of the grid for the next race at
Oulton Park.
At the front Bridewell was holding the lead until Brookes made a
decisive move at Park corner on lap 12 and then he kept his rival at bay
until the chequered flag with Buchan claiming another podium finish.
The results mean that Brookes, Bridewell and Redding are now confirmed
Title Fighters in the Showdown.
Iddon moved to within 21 points of the Showdown with a fourth place for
Tyco BMW, holding off Hickman in the closing stages of the race with
Glenn Irwin taking his best result of the season on the second Tyco BMW
in sixth.
Ryan Vickers was seventh for the RAF Regular & Reserve Kawasaki team
to claim his best result of his rookie season ahead of Luke Stapleford
and Xavi Forés with Billy McConnell completing the top 10 on his
stand-in appearance for OMG Racing Suzuki.

Buchan claims second victory of 2019 ahead of Brookes and Bridewell
Danny Buchan added to his Bennetts British Superbike Championship
winning tally in the opening race of the day at Cadwell Park, fending
off the fierce challenge from Josh Brookes and Tommy Bridewell to claim
the victory.
Brookes had launched off the pole position into the lead on the
opening lap from Buchan, Jason O’Halloran and Bridewell. However, the
Oxford Racing Ducati rider was instantly trying to make a move and he
dived ahead of O’Halloran on lap three to move ahead of the McAMS Yamaha
contender.
Buchan was all over Brookes, but it wasn’t until the eleventh lap
that he could make a move, which he did at Mansfield to snatch the lead.
The FS-3 Racing Kawasaki rider continued to try and break the chasing
Ducatis of Brookes and Bridewell, but at the chequered flag he managed
to edge a gap of 1.047s.
Buchan said: “I’m over the moon. I got a really good start and
without Bradley Ray on the grid that opened up a gap in front of me. I
knew that I had good pace all weekend, and Josh had good pace, so I was
in second just riding a reasonable race.
“I saw my gap was closing behind and I didn’t know who it was, and at
that point I thought podium is what I need and the podium points for
the Showdown. I then thought I can get past Josh and I felt quite
comfortable and brought it home for a win – I think I spent that whole
in lap just shouting in my crash helmet! That was a bit different to
Knockhill because it was a hard-fought win.”
Brookes kept Bridewell at bay to move within three Podium Points of
Scott Redding as the championship leader missed out on a debut podium at
Cadwell Park. The Be Wiser Ducati rider was able to carve his way up
through the field in a hard-fought race, running tenth over the opening
laps before scoring a strong fourth place.
Peter Hickman had been chasing down Redding; the pair able to take
advantage of a mistake from Christian Iddon who had been running fourth,
but ran off track on the final lap and managed to salvage sixth place.
O’Halloran was seventh as he held off the second Tyco BMW of Glenn
Irwin who led his brother Andrew to the chequered flag; the Honda Racing
rider still holding on to sixth place in the standings with four races
remaining before the Showdown.
Ryan Vickers completed the top ten for the RAF Regular & Reserve
Kawasaki team ahead of Luke Stapleford and Gino Rea who impressed on his
debut with Bike Devil Sweda MV Agusta.
Tarran Mackenzie held onto his positon in the Showdown after the
opening race despite finishing 13th but is now just a single point ahead
of Andrew Irwin, who holds a 12 point lead over Xavi Forés in seventh.
