Another amazing weekend on the Mar-Train Yamaha R6. We strong practice sessions and managed to qualify on pole position with the lap time that was under the lap record.
 
After a very poor start, I managed to get back to the front and pass Harry Truelove. Everything was going to plan, but I made a little error – the first one I’ve made all season – and it ran me straight onto the grass. I managed to save it and come back on in fourth place, before getting the head down and bringing the Mar-Train Racing R6 home in second place. We didn’t lose too many points and I managed to put the bike on pole position for Race Two.
 
I had a game plan going into race two today, but once again nothing went to plan. We had a great start, but I ended up going backwards into third and fourth, before the safety car came out. After the safety car I knew I need to make a move and fought my way to the front. I managed to keep good pace throughout the race and pulled a bit of a gap right at the end, so I’m delighted to bring it home in first place and keep our championship lead.
 
This is also the team’s first race win here, so I am delighted for everyone involved and we look forward to Snetterton in two weeks’ time.

Jack and the team done a super job today. Truelove and Perie tried their best to break Jack’s rhythm, but he showed his class in the final laps and managed to break away by over a second.
 
Onwards and upwards to Snetterton in two weeks’ time, where we will focus on trying to increase our Championship lead further. We are currently sitting at 335 in the Championship – to say I’m delighted is an understatement.
