Richard Cooper stormed to the Supersport Feature race win at Oulton Park this afternoon as he beat Rhys Irwin by 2.207secs.
It had been reigning champion Ben Currie who took charge at the green light, hitting the front and quickly putting space behind him and the rest of the pack as Jack Kennedy slotted into second.
Currie stayed ahead as the laps ticked by, as TJ Toms crept up to second but it all changed on Lap Seven when a flying Cooper on the Russell Racing Yamaha passed a handful of riders to hit the front.
Currie tried to hold onto second but over the next few laps he was unable to keep the charging pack behind at bay, as everyone began to jostle for position.
At the flag, Cooper crossed the line clear as Irwin emerged best of the rest on the Gearlink Kawasaki, with Stapleford third.
Honda Racing UK’s Jack Kennedy was fourth with Alastair Seeley fifth.
Jack Nixon once again took the GP2 spoils ahead of Keo Walker as Cameron Hall celebrated the Cup win when Mikey Hardie retired on the final lap, with Tom Tunstall taking second and Max Morgan third.
