168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Full BSB race two results from Assen

Leon Haslam has moved to within touching distance of the 2018 Bennetts British Superbike title thanks to a double✅ victory꧟ at Assen coupled with Jake Dixon’s retirement from race two.

In a frantic start to the race a✃nd an opening-lap safety car, Haslam found himself down in fifth place with main title rival Dixon ahead in second place tucked in behind Peter Hickman.

But disaster struck for the RAF Regular & Reserves Kawasaki rider on lap 10 when his ZX-10RR suffered a terminal technical issue which forced him out of the race. It provided Haslam timely mo🌠mentum to climb up the order moving up to second place at the end of lap 13 diving up the inside of Hickman.

Haslam set his sights on leader Josh Brookes, who passed Hickman at mid-race distance, with four laps to go and reeled ⛦in the 2015 BSB champion’s one-second lead with lap record pace. At the start of lap 16, Haslam di𓆏ved up the inside of Brookes into Turn 1 to take the lead before skating clear to cap a dominant double.

The JG Speedfit Kawasaki rider now leads the BSB championship by 61 points, with a maximum of 75 points available at the triple-header Brands Hatch finale, meaning he needs just 14 points to seal a maiden title bef♒ore returning to the Wor🎉ld Superbike championship in 2019.

𒈔With Brookes having to settle for second place, it means he mathe♔matically can’t fight for the BSB title in the final round despite moving up to third place in the riders’ championship in Assen.

Hickman completed the podium for Smiths Racing BMW comfortably ahead of Glenn Irwin in fourth place for Be Wiser Ducati, who was inv🤪olved in the nasty first-lap incident which triggered the safety car.

Coming out of the final chicane a multiple-rider clash resulted in Dan Linfoot being accidently hit by Irwin’s Ducati while Tommy Bridewell clattered into Linfoot’s stricken Honda. Linfoot was taken to hospital with suspecte🍷d pelvis injuries sustained in the crash.

Followin🔯g a safety car restart, Tarran Mackenzie crashed while exiting the final chicane, high-siding on a cold tyre, and wa🍰s lucky to avoid the oncoming riders sliding across the Assen circuit.

With Mackenzie out Richard Cooper used his lightning start to secure💫 fifth place for Buildbase Suzuki ahead of Be Wiser Ducati’s Andrew Irwin.

Bradley Ray recovered from a frustrating Assen opener to take seventh place for Buildbase Suzuki just in front of Anvil Hire Yamah𝔉a’s James Ellison.

Danny Buchan claimed ninth for FS-3 Racing Kawasaki ahead of Christian Iddon (Tyco BMW) with Jason O’Halloran recovering to 11^th for Honda having been pushed off trac♋ꩵk in the opening lap incident.

Dean Harrison impressed in the difficult race to take 12^th place ahead of Sylvain Barrier, Fraser🅷 Rogers and Luke Mossey who rounded out the points places.
