DONINGTON BSB ✅
Race 2 - P4
A crazy race today, Jack was in the battle for the lead for the whole race before a small coming together a lap from the end which meant he had to run on and didn’t get the chance to fight for the win on the final lap. We have a long break now before Jack’s next round at Snetterton and we aim to be back fighting at the front.

Next stop… Isle of Man TT🇮🇲
More valuable track time trying various setups for @ianhutchinson_4 on our Ducati V2 yesterday and today at Donington.
We opted not to compete in the races as our focus is fully on TT. The team is super excited about working with Ian in the Isle of Man and we will both be aiming to be very competitive in both Monster Energy Supersport races.

RACE 1 - P2 ✅
A great ride by Jack today in wet conditions over 12 laps. The rain started just before the race and the whole game plan went out the window. Jack rode a super mature race to take his 4th podium of the season and regain the championship lead.
DONINGTON DAY 1 ✅
Jack had a single free practice today at 17:10. He finished the session P6. We struggled with set-up in today’s session as well as Jack feeling he wasn’t riding at his best. Both things we will work on and improve overnight ahead of FP2 at 9:15 in the morning.
@ianhutchinson_4 was also in action today aboard our Ducati V2 machine in the supersport class. This wasn’t in our original plan but after Ian’s NW200 crash we both felt it would be sensible to check everything is in order for the Isle of Man TT so we are using the weekend for more valuable track time.

10 years.
A lot can change in ten years.
New faces, new bikes, new seasons.
But some people stay part of a team forever.
You’re still spoken about like you’ve just stepped out the lorry for five minutes.
Still missed.
Still one of us.

🏁 RACE WEEK 🏁
Into the thick of the season now! It’s race week again as the team heads to Donington Park this weekend for Round 2 of the British Moto4 Cup.

NW200 ✅
Unfortunately Ian had a small slip off unhurt at the Mill Road Roundabout today whilst in 4th place in the Supersport Race.
Whilst it’s not the ending to the week we wanted we are still very happy with how our Ducati V2 and Ian performed this week. Ian showed the bikes potential in the early stages of the race and despite this small set back we are very much looking forward to the Isle of Man TT in a couple of weeks time.
Thank you to our sponsors and partners and also to Wilf from @motorapidobsb for being on the end of the phone this week for all our data needs.
NW200 THURSDAY ✅
Firstly, our thoughts and prayers are with Kamil Holan’s family and friends at this incredibly difficult time.
For us, @ianhutchinson_4 done a superb job in last nights Supersport qualifying securing 5th place on the grid aboard the Ducati V2 for tomorrow’s Supersport race. Starting from the middle of the second row, Ian has put himself in a great position for tomorrow’s race and we are all looking forward to it.
