With several of the championship leaders struggling, the MasterMac Honda team grabbed the chance to shine at a showery, overcast Cadwel💫l park, with Charlie Nesbitt back on the podium for the first time this sea꧒son.

Following on 💦from a best ever qualifying performance in BSB, the #86 got a great start off the line to hold position, initially ahead of his teammate Lee ♏Jackson, but behind an injured Jason O’Halloran, as Ryan Vickers pulled into the lead:

“Yeah, I had a really good start off the front from P3 on the grid, managed to hold position all the way through turn one and just tried t🦩o stay on the back of Kyle and Jason for as long as I could”.

With local rider Jackson 💎ready to pounce, Nesbitt was unable to keep his experienced teammate at bay, but didn’t panic as the pass was made, instead opting to trail the #14 bike:

“I started getting a bit scrappy halfway through the race until Lee passed me and then it 🌞was the case to🔴 just relax again, get my flow back and then just carry on building, then pass Jason".

As O’Halloran had done all he could with his splinted hands, and a gap back to the battleꦚ for fourth with Tommy Bridewell and Glenn Irwin battling each other instead of closing the gap, Nesbitt was left to bring his Honda home for an assured third, his first time on the rostrum this season.

Speaking after the race Nesbitt felt he had learned a lot for his dry set-up with a race distance set of laps under his belt, with information that could be used to imಞprove the package fo꧑r Monday, with two races still to come in Lincolnshire:

“Managed to get third at the end of ﷺthe race which I’m absolutely buzzing about, really looking forward to tomorrow’s race , 𝓡you know, I think we’ll make a few little changes to the bike, nothing major, just to try and help with the front brake, front feeling a little bit.”
