Buildbase BMW Motorrad’s, Lee Jackson managed to pip David Johnson to 2nd position by the slimmest of margins, just 0.387 seconds. Whilst, Honda Racing’s, Jason O’Halloran had to make do with a fourth place finish, despite crossing the line just 0.097 seconds behind Johnson, a fellow Australian.
Danny Buchan said:
“We had the pace all weekend; we just needed to put that all together in the race. I could see the gap opening on my pit board, so l just kept chipping away. Thanks to all my sponsors and thanks to all the fans for turning out to see us today. It’s always good to see so many people here to watch us.”
