There was more podium joy for Jason O’Halloran and the McAMS Yamaha team as the Australian took a third-place finish in the second race at Cadwell Park.

After taking a fourth place in Saturday’s Sprint Race, O’Halloran knew it would be tricky from the second row of the grid with Cadwell a notoriously challenging venue for passing, especially given the speed deficit to some competitors this year. Biding his time, O’Halloran was sat comfortably in the top five before attacking at the end with two moves at the Hairpin to take a strong third place.

Again starting from the second row in Race 3, the O’Show got a strong start but was knocked back a little on the opening laps. Re-grouping, the Australian was the quickest rider on the track towards the end of the race but it wasn’t quite enough. Moving up to fifth, he set his sights on improving that position to take a fourth. However, a mistake from the rider ahead meant O’Halloran had to sit up to avoid hitting his rival, meaning he’d lose a place on the final lap and cross the line sixth.

A solid points haul means O’Halloran maintains the gap to the championship lead at just 54.5 points with three rounds remaining with the points ramping up next time out at Oulton Park (15-17 September) with 25 points available for a win over the next two rounds before things ramp up even further at Brands Hatch for the finale in October.
