Jason O’Halloran set his quickest ever lap of Oulton Park as he rode to a pair of sixth places at Oulton Park on Monday, banking more valuable points for his 2022 challenge as he continues to make progress on the 2022 R1.
Starting tenth on the grid for the second race of the weekend after an eighth placed finish on Sunday, O’Halloran made a strong start and was battling towards the top six when a safety car came out. Sat in fifth position at one point, he would lose one spot before the end of the race and cross the line sixth.
Another row forward on the grid for race three, the team tried quite a radical change for the final encounter, one that would prove to be quite positive as O’Halloran was noticeably quicker from the off. Setting his fastest ever lap of Oulton Park while battling for fourth, he crossed the line sixth but with a much better feeling with the bike. He now sits sixth in the championship with 60 points.
Tim Neave enjoyed a strong outing on the Edwards 1902 Superstock R1, starting 12th on the grid he faced an uphill challenge but launched off the line to be within the top seven at the end of the opening lap. He made it through to sixth and was in the battle for the podium, but was unable to progress towards the end of the race bringing it home in a strong sixth place. He remains in the lead of the championship by 12 points.
The series resumes at Donington Park on the weekend of 20-22 May.
