2023 British Superbike Championship
Round Eight – Cadwell Park

Supersport / GP2 Feature Race
Championship leader Ben Currie extended his points lead as two of his main rivals crashed out of today’s race at Cadwell Park.
Both Luke Stapleford and Tom Booth-Amos – who lie third and fourth in the championship respectively – both crashed out in separate incidents at Charlie’s while leading the race.
Stapleford, who looked in control early on, crashed out on lap six and Booth-Amos moved into the lead but on lap 11, he suffered the same fate at exactly the same place.
This gave Currie – who had been keeping a close watching brief from second – the lead and with almost six seconds in hand, the Oxford Products Racing Ducati rider had a trouble-free run to the flag and his second win of the weekend.
Rhys Irwin had been running in second but in the closing laps looked to be struggling and was passed by Richard Cooper at the start of lap 13.
And more drama was to follow on the final lap as Cooper ran slightly wide and Tom Toparis, who had just passed Irwin for third, made contact with Cooper’s PHR Performance Triumph and while both stayed upright, Toparis dropped back behind Irwin.
Cooper took second, with Irwin picking up third as Toparis took fourth with TJ Toms fifth.
In GP2, Harry Rowlings took the win, crossing the line 13th overall and just ahead of second placed Cameron Fraser, with Harvey Claridge third.

Superstock 1000 Race
Tim Neave powered to his first win of the season at Cadwell Park after a dramatic race for some of the title challengers.
Neave hit the front at the start but behind, Ash Beech crashed and Richard Kerr was forced off track, rejoining way down the pack as Billy McConnell moved into second before being passed by Joe Talbot.
A move on Talbot from McConnell on lap 10 sent Talbot flying into the gravel and McConnell was handed a 10 second penalty. By now he was at the front and crossed the line first but the win went to Neave who was sitting in second place.
Points leader Dan Linfoot was second with Alastair Seeley third as McConnell was classified fourth with Lewis Rollo fifth.
Brayden Elliott took ninth on the DAO Kawasaki.
