Quattro Group British Supersport: Kennedy strengthens title lead

Quattro Group British Supersport: Kennedy strengthens title lead

25 July 2021

Jack Kennedy strengthened his lead at the top of the Quattro Group British Supersport Championship with a dominant win in the Feature race. The initial race was red flagged due to rain, and on the restart it was Ben Currie who grabbed the holeshot but Kennedy had found a way through by the end of the opening lap. Slowly pulling away from the pursuing pack, Kennedy mastered the conditions to take the win by 3.341s

 

It was an action-packed race behind him though as Currie, Eunan McGlinchey, Kyle Smith and Charlie Nesbitt battled for the final rostrum positions. Smith took second with two laps to go to edge away from the Gearlink Kawasaki duo, leaving a last lap battle for the final podium spot, with McGlinchey able to clinch it.

 

Charlie Nesbitt was the first of the GP2 machines, sixth overall, with Law and Jones joining him on the podium.
