O'Halloran Doubles Up
At Donington BSB
J
ason O'Halloran (McAMS Ya-
maha) captured a pair of wins
at the Bennetts British Superbike
Championship at Donington Park,
May 21-22. Halloran finished a
close second to Kyle Ryde (Rich
Energy OMG Racing Yamaha) in
the first sprint race but went on to
win races two and three.
The sprint race was a thriller
with Hyde nipping O'Halloran
at the flag by 0.038 seconds.
Ryde led O'Halloran into Roberts
Chicane on the final lap as the
pair were nearly side by side, and
it was a drag to the line between
the pair in a dramatic finish with
Ryde taking the win.
Points leader Bradley Ray, Rory
Skinner and O'Halloran all had
their moment up front, but Ryde
had other ideas as he worked his
way to the front and captured his
first win of the season.
O'Halloran, still looking for his
first win of the year, took second
followed by Ray.
Skinner ended up seventh.
O'Halloran, however, didn't
have to wait long to get that first
win, as he, Ray and Lee Jackson
(Cheshire Mouldings FS-3 Kawa-
saki) gapped the rest of the field
in race two.
In the closing stages, the
"O'Show" (O'Halloran) had the
pace to stay ahead of Ray as he
took his first win for McAMS Ya-
maha since Silverstone last year.
In race three, O'Halloran
chased down Ray in the closing
laps. He attacked Ray on lap 17
and was able to hold off Ray for
his second win of the weekend.
Jackson finished third, followed
by Skinner and Ryde.
Ray leads the championship
by 28 points over O'Halloran with
Jackson another five points back
in third.
