O'Halloran Clean Sweeps Thruxton
M
CAMS Yamaha rider Jason
O'Halloran enjoyed the most
dominant weekend of his 2023 British
Superbike season to date, taking all
three wins on offer at Thruxton over
the weekend.
After learning of his MCAMS Yamaha
team's impending departure from the
series starting in 2025, O'Halloran was
in impervious form at the ultra-fast
Hampshire circuit, taking pole position
from OMG Yamaha rider Ryan Vickers.
Over three races, O'Halloran had to
work for his wins, especially in race
three in which he only took the lead
on the penultimate lap. The Australian
rider claimed race one ahead of Charlie
Nesbitt (MasterMac Honda by Hawk
Racing) and Vickers; race two ahead
of Lee Jackson (Cheshire Mouldings
Kawasaki) and Nesbitt; and race three
from Jackson and Nesbitt.
O'Halloran's points haul moves him
up to third in the series with 212.5
points, behind the two BeerMonster
Ducati riders Tommy Bridewell (263)
and Glenn Irwin (236), both of whom
suffered a torrid weekend, with a pair
of ninth places for both Irwin and Bridewell as
good as it got for the championship leaders.
"That's the best weekend of my career, com-
ing off the back of a couple of average rounds to
bounce back like this is exactly what we
needed," O'Halloran said. "We've clawed
a lot of points back this weekend with
pole position and three race wins, which
is incredible. I'm now Yamaha's most
successful rider in terms of race wins
and have 26 BSB wins, which is [also]
just incredible. And I've won eight of
the last nine races at Thruxton, which is
another amazing stat!
"This is exactly what the team need-
ed, and I think we can carry this momen-
tum forward now to Cadwell Park, which
is my favorite race of the year."
