Jake Dixon had another strong weekend in the Motorpoint British Supersport Championship over the Bank Holiday weekend.
Oulton Park was the venue for the second round of the season for the youngster from Dover, as he netted two top ten finishes on a challenging circuit.
Riding his Appleyard Macadam Doodson Yamaha he qualified in 8th place for the opening race and he had a great race, making his way through the field and coming home in fifth place.
He was then back out in race two starting from eighth place and that is where he finished to cap off an excellent weekend. Dixon is now well placed in seventh in the standings to make an assault for the top positions as the season goes on.
Speaking after the weekend’s racing a please, Dixon said: “I can’t say I was looking forward to the weekend at Oulton as this is where my season ended last year. I knew I wanted to get two solid results under my belt and move on to Snetterton.”
“I was really pleased with my race one result of fifth place, I was adamant I wanted and needed a solid finish. The team worked well but we made some changes overnight for the second race on Monday and the bike just didn’t handle as I would have hoped in race two.”
“I really fought and did the best I could during the race on Monday but I just wasn’t able to put in the lap times I wanted. I am pleased to have got two top ten results from here and now we have a base setting for when we come back later in the year. I am looking forward to getting to Snetterton and hopefully get a solid set-up early in the weekend and I’d like to be running top six every weekend.”
“I would like to thank the Appleyard Macadam Doodson Yamaha team for all their hard work over the weekend and hope we can make progress and move forwards at the next round.”
