Hickman claims FHO Racing BMW their debut win at Cadwell Park

Peter Hickman became the sixth different race winner of the 2021 Bennetts British Superbike Championship season, claiming FHO Racing BMW an emphatic first race win in the series in front of a rapturous home crowd at Cadwell Park. At the start, Jason O'Halloran hit the front of the pack, narrowly moving down the inside of Glenn Irwin with Hickman holding third. However, by the time the pack had reached Chris Curve, Glenn Irwin had taken the lead for Honda Racing. Irwin was trying to break the field; edging out an initial gap of 0.8s over the opening laps, but behind Hickman had made a decisive move on O’Halloran to move into second. By the seventh lap Hickman had reeled Irwin back in and the advantage had vanished. Irwin made a small mistake to run slightly wide and Hickman didn’t need an invitation as he dived through to take the lead. Hickman then unleashed a series of fast laps, breaking the lap record with a time of 1m:26.350s, to gap O’Halloran and Irwin, before taking the chequered flag in front of an ecstatic crowd. However, the podium fight wasn’t over and whilst O’Halloran had moved into second, Irwin was soon under pressure from Tommy Bridewell. The Oxford Products Racing Ducati rider had left it to the final laps to carve his way through, taking no prisoners to grab the final podium place on the penultimate lap to push Irwin into fourth. Christian Iddon was able to get to the front of the next pack, moving ahead of Lee Jackson and Andrew Irwin in the closing five laps. Ryan Vickers, who set the fastest ever lap of Cadwell Park yesterday, was eighth as he bounced back from a high-speed crash in qualifying. Rory Skinner and Josh Brookes completed the top ten ahead of tomorrow’s two races. Bennetts British Superbike Championship, Cadwell Park, BikeSocial Race 1: - Peter Hickman (FHO Racing BMW) - Jason O'Halloran (McAMS Yamaha) +2.080s - Tommy Bridewell (Oxford Products Racing Ducati) +3.729s - Glenn Irwin (Honda Racing) +4.348s - Christian Iddon (VisionTrack Ducati) +4.529s - Lee Jackson (FS-3 Racing Kawasaki) +4.617s - Andrew Irwin (SYNETIQ BMW) +5.253s - Ryan Vickers (RAF Regular & Reserve Kawasaki) +7.120s - Rory Skinner (FS-3 Racing Kawasaki) +8.084s - Josh Brookes (VisionTrack Ducati) +9.729s Bennetts British Superbike Championship standings after Cadwell Park Race 1: - Jason O'Halloran (McAMS Yamaha) 297 - Tarran Mackenzie (McAMS Yamaha) 223 - Christian Iddon (VisionTrack Ducati) 214 - Tommy Bridewell (Oxford Products Racing Ducati) 173 - Danny Buchan (SYNETIQ BMW) 165 - Peter Hickman (FHO Racing BMW) 155 - Glenn Irwin (Honda Racing) 134 - Bradley Ray (Rich Energy OMG Racing BMW) 115 Peter Hickman - FHO Racing BMW BikeSocial Race 1 winner “It is mega to win here! We have had a bad run of luck and that race was perfect. I knew I had the pace for the race, as the FHO Racing BMW has been fantastic. “It was pretty much a perfect race in the end. I saw Jason and Glenn making some moves to start with but I felt I had more pace than they did, so I just settled in at the start. “I managed to pull a clean move on Jason at Mansfield, which is always tricky there! I then needed to get Glenn and fortunately, he made a mistake, so I was able to take advantage at Barn and that gave me what I needed. “This is such a tough track, so it feels even better to win! I had to keep my concentration and not make any mistakes, so to be leading until the chequered flag felt like an eternity. “I am so happy for Faye, and to get our first win here for the team at their home round, was great. It is only our first season, and with all these fans all the way around the circuit, it made it even more special. It has been an awesome day.” For more info checkout our dedicated British Superbikes News page Or visit the official Bennetts British Superbike Championship website www.britishsuperbike.com Follow us on social media: Instagram: @superbikenews Twitter: @sbknews Facebook: @superbikenews

Hickman under the lap record to top opening day of Donington Park action

Peter Hickman launched the FHO Racing BMW to the top of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship SUPERPICKS Free Practice times at Donington Park, setting a pace under the existing lap record to edge out championship leader Jason O'Halloran by 0.122s in the closing stages. O’Halloran had set the pace in the morning and continued to set the benchmark earlier in the session, but the McAMS Yamaha rider crashed out unhurt at Coppice and was then sidelined for the remainder of SUPERPICKS Free Practice 2. Hickman’s flying lap came in the final moments of another incredibly close session where the top 18 riders were covered by less than a second, with Kyle Ryde in 18th just 0.934s adrift of the leading time. Ryan Vickers had another impressive session on the RAF Regular and Reserve Kawasaki to end the opening day third fastest, just ahead of VisionTrack Ducati pairing Christian Iddon and defending champion Josh Brookes, who returned to his familiar #25 this weekend and continued a resurgence to complete the top five. Rory Skinner delivered a strong end to his day to climb into sixth position for the FS-3 Kawasaki team ahead of Honda Racing’s Glenn Irwin and the second FHO Racing BMW of Xavi Forés. Danny Buchan (SYNETIQ BMW), Lee Jackson (FS-3 Kawasaki), Tommy Bridewell (Oxford Products Racing Ducati) and Danny Kent (Buildbase Suzuki) completed the SUPERPICKS 12 who progress directly into tomorrow’s pole-position deciding Q2 session. Bennetts British Superbike Championship, Donington Park National, SUPERPICKS Free Practice combined times: - Peter Hickman (FHO Racing BMW) 1m:06.156s - Jason O'Halloran (McAMS Yamaha) +0.122s - Ryan Vickers (RAF Regular and Reserve Kawasaki) +0.134s - Christian Iddon (VisionTrack Ducati) +0.228s - Josh Brookes (VisionTrack Ducati) +0.276s - Rory Skinner (FS-3 Kawasaki) +0.292s - Glenn Irwin (Honda Racing) +0.323s - Xavi Forés (FHO Racing BMW) +0.361s - Danny Buchan (SYNETIQ BMW) +0.380s - Lee Jackson (FS-3 Kawasaki) +0.403s - Tommy Bridewell (Oxford Products Racing Ducati) +0.423s - Danny Kent (Buildbase Suzuki) +0.451s Peter Hickman - FHO Racing BMW Fastest in SUPERPICKS Free Practice “It has been a pretty good start to Donington Park in the free practice sessions! I am normally not as fast on the first day, so to actually be fast straight away is really good for me. “The FHO Racing BMW has been working really well. We made a few tweaks between sessions and it felt instantly that we went in the right direction straight away. “I feel really comfortable and the time came fairly easily – or as easy as it can be in this game! The times are so close so I am definitely happy to be P1 so far.” For more info checkout our dedicated British Superbikes News page Or visit the official Bennetts British Superbike Championship website www.britishsuperbike.com Follow us on social media: Instagram: @superbikenews Twitter: @sbknews Facebook: @superbikenews SBN Directory - add your motorcycle related business here

O’Halloran victorious as Glenn Irwin crashes out of podium contention

Jason O'Halloran claimed his fifth win of the 2021 Bennetts British Superbike Championship season, after leading Christian Iddon by 2.433s as the race was red flagged when Glenn Irwin crashed out of the podium fight, unhurt. O’Halloran got an incredible start from pole position to grab the lead ahead of Irwin and Peter Hickman, however a crash on the opening lap for Kyle Ryde and Joe Francis bought out the BMW Safety Car. Both riders were able to walk away from the crash, and the race resumed on lap four. O’Halloran controlled the pace at the front, breaking away from the pack in the later stages of the race to build a more comfortable buffer before the race was halted. This leaves him just a single point adrift of Christian Iddon in the overall standings ahead of tomorrow’s two races. Prior to his accident, Irwin was right in the fight for the podium, holding second position ahead of Hickman and Iddon in the opening stages with Ryan Vickers in contention too. On lap five, Hickman’s FHO Racing BMW machine moved into second. Honda Racing’s Irwin was then pushed back a further place into fourth as Iddon then made a move, drafting through on the VisionTrack Ducati. Iddon then pushed Hickman for second place, making a move at the Chicane as the battle intensified for the podium. It was a battle between Iddon, Hickman and Irwin for the final two places inside the top three as O’Halloran made his break at the front. Irwin was soon up to third, as he produced a stunning move around the outside at the Chicane on lap 13. His progress came to a sudden end a lap later though as he crashed out at 119mph. With his stricken Honda Fireblade in the track, the race was red flagged. Irwin was able to walk away from the incident, whilst his rivals Iddon and Hickman climbed onto the podium. Vickers had his best result in fourth place for the RAF Regular & Reserve Kawasaki team, holding off Lee Jackson who completed the top five for FS-3 Racing Kawasaki, with four manufacturers in the top four positions. Danny Kent was another rider to secure his best result in Bennetts BSB in sixth place for the Buildbase Suzuki team, ahead of Bradley Ray and Gino Rea. Tarran Mackenzie was running sixth, but a cut of the Chicane meant the McAMS Yamaha rider was given a 2-second long lap equivalent time penalty, ending up in ninth place with Tommy Bridewell completing the top-ten. It was another disappointing race for reigning champion Josh Brookes; he was outside the points in 17th place. Bennetts British Superbike Championship, Thruxton, BikeSocial Race 1 result: 1.    Jason O'Halloran (McAMS Yamaha) 2.    Christian Iddon (VisionTrack Ducati) +2.433s 3.    Peter Hickman (FHO Racing BMW) +2.836s 4.    Ryan Vickers (RAF Regular & Reserve Kawasaki) +4.129s 5.    Lee Jackson (FS-3 Racing Kawasaki) +4.397s 6.    Danny Kent (Buildbase Suzuki) +5.090s 7.    Bradley Ray (Rich Energy OMG Racing BMW) +5.186s 8.    Gino Rea (Buildbase Suzuki) +5.581s 9.    Tarran Mackenzie (McAMS Yamaha) +6.747s 10.    Tommy Bridewell (Oxford Products Racing Ducati) +11.175s Bennetts British Superbike Championship standings after Thruxton Race 1: 1.    Christian Iddon (VisionTrack Ducati) 183 2.    Jason O'Halloran (McAMS Yamaha)182 3.    Tarran Mackenzie (McAMS Yamaha) 144 4.    Danny Buchan (SYNETIQ BMW) 133 5.    Tommy Bridewell (Oxford Products Racing Ducati) 106 6.    Peter Hickman (FHO Racing BMW) 89 7.    Rory Skinner (FS-3 Racing Kawasaki) 88 8.    Lee Jackson (FS-3 Racing Kawasaki) 84 Jason O'Halloran - McAMS Yamaha BikeSocial Race 1 winner “Normally throughout practice you will have done a long run. I did one this morning, but it was straight out of the pits and it was first bit of dry track time all weekend, so it was a bit of an unknown. “The pace was definitely faster than what I thought it would be, not from trying to do that, but it just came to me and I thought while the pace is there and the tyre feels good, I’ll just keep doing my thing. “The gap to the guys behind me was staying constant for about the first five or six laps and I saw it start to grow, so I just wanted to keep my pace and try to get away. “It was a comfortable win, but it certainly was never easy. I didn’t have to block too much, didn’t have to worry about the guys behind me, which is a nice feeling. “I think tomorrow’s race might be a bit slower, another five or six laps is a lot around here when the tyre starts to drop, so we’ll see what tomorrow brings. All the guys will improve again and so we need to do the same for tomorrow.” For more info checkout our dedicated British Superbikes News page Or visit the official Bennetts British Superbike Championship website www.britishsuperbike.com Follow us on social media: Instagram: @superbikenews Twitter: @sbknews Facebook: @superbikenews SBN Directory - add your motorcycle related business here
