Leonꦦ Haslam has extended his Bennetts British Superbike championship lead to 36 points after sprinting clear from title rival Jake Dixon in second place in the Assen opener.

The JG Speedfit Kawasaki rider spen♌t the majority of the race stalking leader Tarran Mackenzie, using the softer rear Pirelli tyre with his McAMS Yamaha, as the championship leader con🔯served his harder option rear tyre.

After scrapping with Mackenzie at the sta🙈rt of lap 16, Haslam got the move done at the famous final chicane by diving up the inside of the BSB rookie to take the lead at the start of the penultimate ꩲlap.

Dixon, also using the harder rear tyre, produced a near-identical move on Mackenzie at the final chicane one lap later to begin his final lap hunt of Haslam. But with half a second to make up over the f🐼inal lap Haslam remained out of reach for the RAF Regular & Reserves Kawasaki rider who had to settle for second place.

The result ꦗsees Haslam open up his BSB championship lead by five points and maintain his near-perfect record at Assen in the national series having taken four wins out of five races.
