Snetterton BSB: Skinner continues undefeated Supersport streak

Rory Skinner made it four wins from four with victory in Sunday’s Quattro Group British Supersport Championship feature race at Snetterton seeing him extend his lead in the standings to 36 points.

 
The Tyser Yamaha rider, third at the end of the opening lap, quickly made his way to the front second time around, taking the lead from the fast-starting Lee Johnston (Ashcourt Racing Yamaha) at Ago’s.
 
However, the Ulsterman stuck to Skinner’s rear wheel right up until the 13th lap when Skinner doubled his lead from 0.2s to 0.4s and when Johnston ran on at the end of the back straight, Skinner had the breathing space he required to maintain his 100% record.
 
Johnston’s error, caused by a false neutral, saw him drop back to third with Bradley Perie coming through for second place.
 
The Diamond H Racing Yamaha rider was down in eighth place at the end of the opening lap but as the race wore on, he was consistently the fastest rider on track and he deservedly took his best result of the season so far.
 
Johnston held on for third, repeating his result from Saturday, with Korie McGreevy (Century Racing Yamaha) taking fourth after Ben Currie (Gearlink Kawasaki) crashed out at the chicane on lap 11.
 
His team-mate James Westmoreland was another rider to make a sluggish start and he lost further ground on the tenth lap after a mistake saw him drop back to ninth. He regrouped to claim fifth at the chequered flag, just ahead of Brad Jones (Tyser Yamaha) and Harry Truelove (Truelove Brothers Yamaha) who was another rider to run off track at the end of the straight.
 
James Rose (Ibbertson Kawasaki) was battling with them right up until the last lap when he went out which allowed Ross Patterson to take eighth with Mason Law and Charlie Nesbitt taking ninth and tenth, the first of the GP2 Cup riders home.
