“I think the results probably speak for themselves: second place on the grid in race one, pole position in race two and two race wins – I couldn’t really ask for anymore from a BSB round!

“However, it’s been a tough weekend as we’ve been trying to find the feeling that we had in the test at Cadwell a few weeks ago when we were running faster times and race pace.

But the team worked really hard again and it paid off – I had two good battles with Jake Dixon and Brad Ray in both races and look forward to doing it again at Silverstone in three weeks.”
