Jake Dixon feels taking the Bennetts British Superbike title b൲attle to Leon Haslam and his factory-supported JG Speedfit Kawasaki squad is a worthy achievement for RAF Regular & Reserve Kawasaki as he bids farewell to the series ahead of his move to Moto2.

The 22-year-old conceded his BSB championship fight to Haslam following Saturday’s opening race at the Brands Hatc𒊎h triple-header but held on to second place in the riders’ standings thanks to a podium in the final race.

Despite seeing his BSB title 🐬charge coming up short, Dixon says his Lee Hardy Racing-run squad are proud of competing for the🐻 riders’ title against bigger and more experienced teams.

“The battles with Leon have been good but most of the time the fuck💞er has come out on top of me!” Dixon said. “It𒈔 is one of those things and he’s very experienced rider and rode fantastic all year.

“With such a great package around him it is a credit to my team to fight for the title, they are a little team but have put together such a greatᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ 🌠bike. I can’t thank them all enough.

“It has been a fantastic year and with Leon and Glenn riding so ෴well all year I want to congratulate the🍒m both.

“Hopefully Glenn’s move to Kawasaki goes well and so does Leon’s to KRT. It’s🌄 been a great year and what a way to sig🤪n it off with another podium at the end so I’m really happy.”

Dixon will move to Moto2 next season having secured a two-year deal with the Aspar-run Angel Nieto Racing team ahead of the championship’s switch from 600cc Honda to 765cc Triꦇumph engines along with a new ECU system.

BSB title-winner Haslam is also leaving the national series for a factory Kawasaki rider in World Supe🌄rbikes, with Scott Redding switching from MotoGP to ꦡBSB with Be Wiser Ducati to provide a shake-up in the championship next year.
