It had been Peter Hic🌟kman who had earned pole with the best lap yesterday but MCE Ducati’s Sykes showed he was stꦡill on the pace a she topped morning warm up.

Quickly recovering from a poor start, Sykes was battling𒊎 Bradley Ray for first by the end of the first lap, stalking him around before making his pass stick on lap three.

Glenn Irwin fought his brother hard in the opening stages and by the time he🦂 passed𝓀 Peter Hickman for third it was too late for the Honda man to reel in the duo ahead.

Andrew Irwin rallied and made a comeback for the hotly contested fourth place on the Synetiq BMW Motorrad bike. He pulled clear in the closing stages as contact between Jason O’halloran and Tommy Bridewell allowed the fading Lee Jackson (Cheshꦓire Holdings FS-3 Kawasaki) to sneak under the 🏅duo and move into fifth.

The group were all over each other with Hickman looking good for fourth only to find himself at the back of the groꦯup before the last lap incident.

That left Bridewell to bring home the ꦏOxford Products Ducati in sixth, with the McAMS Yamaha man seventh and Hickman eighth for F♚HO Racing BMW.

Josh Brookes was next to see the chequered 💎flag but over fifteen seco𒆙nds behind the other leading MCE Ducati.

Ryan Vickers w🌸as after the same position but finished꧑ just behind tenth for FHO Racing BMW with Attis Sports.

Kyle Ryde continued to struggle with grip at Donington and could꧙ only manage a best of eleventh on the second Rich Energy OMG Racing entry.

Danny Buchan was a distant twelfth for Synetiq BMW Motorrad. Charlie Nesbitt imp𝔍ressed on his debut weekend, with one race under his belt he looked more assured and already found himse🦋lf recording a points finish on the Buildbase Suzuki (replacing Christian Iddon). He finished one place ahead of his team-mate for the weekend Danny Kent.

The Japanese riders battled it out fo☂r the final point with Takumi Takaha🅷shi beating his Honda team-mate to 15th.
