It was initially team-mat▨e Glenn Irwin who took over at the fr🌞ont still in the hunt for his first podium of the weekend, with Leon Haslam giving chase.

Bridewell was sat in behind and waited patiently, making his first move for victory on the penultimate lap. The BeerMonster Ducati bi🦹kes battled awa💫y, bringing the already close Haslam and Ryan Vickers into a four way battle for the win.

Bridewell made his next lunge count. On the final lap he pushed his way past, leading out of the Bomb Hole as the pressure sent Irwin wide. The Northern Irish rider still did not give in and tried the slipstream to the line, but the #46 held 💜on to win by just 0.032s.

It is Bridewell’s first ever triple win and the fir♓st 🙈by anyone so far this season.

Behind the duo, Ro⭕ckit BMW’s Leon Haslam managed to hold off Ryan Vickers for🍃 the final podium spot.

Vickers just misses out on home podium

Ryan Vicker✱s started on the wrong foot, and was gifted a second chance in race two w𓄧hen the safety car came out.

Being able to rejoin allowed him to set the ཧsecond fastest lap and start the third race from the front row, with less work to do and more hope oꦓf success.

The LAMI OMG Yamaha rider got such a good start he lead into the first corner, though he eventually faded back into the chasing﷽ g🍒roup, then hunting down Brookes.

A permanent fixture at the front, his reversal of fortunes in the Snetterton 300 was complete with 🌄fourth but couldn’t quite land a home rostrum visit. As Haslam escaped he had pressure coming in from behind to d﷽eal with.

That was from a rapidly approaching Christian Iddon, who was almost back in play as he took advantage of all the in-fighting ahead to catch the leaders on his way to fift🃏h on the Oxford Poducts Ducati.

Jason O’Halloran won his battꦬle with Lee Jacksoཧn for sixth on the McAMS yamaha, with the #14 once again the best placed Kawasaki rider for Cheshire Holdings.

Kyle Ryde once again found himself having to m𝄹ake up places from his grid slot, this time rising to ninth by the chequered flag on the second OMG Yamaha in a tough meet for th🥃e title hopeful.

Danny Kent fell back after a good start over the closing laps to finish ninth for his Lovell Kent 🌊Honda team, while Tito Rabat closed out the top ten completing a solid first time racing Snetterton with McAMS Yamaha.

Charlie Nesbitt (MasterMac Honda) was the best of the rookies, holding off Jack Kennedy (Mar-Train Yamaha) in the run in to the line fo♈r eleventh.

The remaining points on of𓂃fer went to Max Cook (Cheshire Mouldings Kawasaki) in 13th, who was clear of Josh Owens (Crendon Honda) in 14th𒆙 who in turn had his own gap over Tom Neave (Honda Racing UK) in a distant 15th.

Deꦛan Harrison and Hecto🌟r Barbera were the only other finishers.
