Bennetts BSB’s newest race winner Jackson ready “to keep this ball rolling now!”

03 May 2022

Lee Jackson became the latest winner in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship at Oulton Park on Bank Holiday Monday after the FS-3 Racing Kawasaki rider held off Tommy Bridewell and Bradley Ray to secure a race three victory.

Jackson had been a podium finisher in the championship already, but in his 142nd race start he was able to celebrate a victory, giving FS-3 Racing Kawasaki their first win of the 2022 season and elevating himself into fifth place in the overall stadings.

Jackson said: “The race for me started a bit slow and I didn’t actually feel that great. I struggled to get into a comfortable rhythm as the pace was really fast. Once Tommy passed me, I found the rhythm I needed straight away and gave me that edge to get to the front.

“Tommy did a lot of the hard work chasing Brad down and as soon as we got to him, I saw that the pace had dropped. I knew I had the pace so I just made the passes as soon as I could as the laps were counting down and I knew I had to try and break him.

“I tried to relax on the last lap and we have worked hard as a team to get this win today. I work hard and I am my own biggest critic and I feel like I am good enough now.

“I have to say after yesterday I had a couple of glasses of champagne to celebrate and I want to keep this ball rolling! We have got the bike working well now and moving to Donington Park, I feel like we will still have the pace to have another good weekend there.”
