ELLISON AND HASLAM SHARE CADWELL
PARK WINS
J
ames Ellison (McAMS Ya-
maha) became the seventh
different race winner in the 2017
MCE Insurance British Super-
bike Championship following two
dramatic races at Cadwell Park
on August 20.
In race one Leon Haslam
returned to the top step of the
podium for the first time since
Oulton Park in May as the JG
Speedfit Kawasaki rider delivered
an inch perfect performance to
hold off a chasing freight train of
eight riders, leading home BMW's
Jake Dixon and current BSB
champion, Shane Byrne.
Ellison made up for it in race
two, however, getting the best of
BMW's Lee Jackson and Peter
Hickman in a titanic battle that
saw Byrne retire with gearbox
issues.
America's John Hopkins (Moto
Rapido Ducati) was unable to
take part in either of the two
races after damaging his thumb
in a practice crash at Cadwell
Park. CN
