Dover’s Jake Dixon rounded off another excellent weekend in the Motorpoint British Supersport Championship with victory on Sunday afternoon.

Dixon is really showing that he is a force to be reckoned with in the Supersport class following his move to Smiths Racing Team in the summer.

The weekend didn’t get off to the best of starts as he was the victim of another riders incident in the sprint race on Saturday, however he roared back in the feature race on Sunday at Oulton Park.

In the opening Sprint race on Saturday, Dixon crashed out whilst he was lying in fourth place and looking like he was set for a solid finish. It looked like he’d finish in a similar position in Sunday’s race but a safety car period meant the race all came down to a four-lap dash to the flag.

With five riders in close contention, it became one of the races of the season and Jake took full advantage of Andy Reid’s mistake on the penultimate lap to hit the front for the first time. Despite coming under intense pressure on the final lap, he held on to take a brilliant second win of the season.

Speaking after the weekend, Dixon said: “To end the weekend with a win is brilliant and the safety car period definitely helped me. I got duffed up a bit at the beginning and had to play catch up but was closing into the front three riders so when we bunched up again, I was in a lot better position. I made a small mistake on the final lap at Druids but braked as late as I could for the final corner and held on. Yesterday’s race was as much my fault as anyone else’s.

“The bike was working perfectly but I lost my rhythm a bit and slipped back into the group battling for fourth, which I shouldn’t have done. I started getting held up and lost my focus a bit so I needed to regroup for today’s race and so many people helped me out so it’s great to repay them with a win.”
