Honda Racing’s Tom Neave took the opening Pirelli Superstock 1000 victory at Donington Park, cruising to victory by over two seconds. It was Danny Kent who grabbed the holeshot, but Neave had soon found his way through the pack to take the lead where he was able to steadily pull away from the pursuers.
Behind him, it was Astro JJR-racing’s rookie rider Damon Rees, who took a podium in his maiden Pirelli Superstock 1000 race, who in turn was some 1.5s ahead of Kent. Tim Neave was fourth, ahead of Chrissy Rouse and Joe Collier.
Reigning champion Richard Cooper was seventh, with Luke Hedger, Davey Todd and Jordan Weaving completing the top ten.
