Quattro Group British Supersport and GP2 Championship: Kennedy doubles-up with feature race win

19 June 2022

Jack Kennedy extended his championship lead as he stormed to a Knockhill double with a comfortable win over Luke Stapleford.

Although it was Appleyard Macadam’s Harry Truelove who got the holeshot at the start of the race, the reigning champion wasted no time and was ahead within three corners.

As Kennedy stretched a lead and Gearlink Kawasaki’s Stapleford settled into second, the big battle was for third, as Eugene McManus found himself scrapping with Truelove and the second Appleyard Macadam Yamaha of Bradley Perie.

It became a fight to the end, as Truelove tried in vain to find a way past and make it stick before losing out to Perie who dived down the inside into fourth at the hairpin leaving McManus to power up the hill to take third and his first class podium.

In GP2, Korie McGreevy took the victory as he crossed the line sixth, with Jack Scott second and Cameron Fraser third.
