Full BSB Race 1 results at Brands Hatch

Jos𓃲h Brookes has claimed victory in the restarted opener of the 2019 Bennetꦏts British Superbike championship decider to cutdown Scott Redding’s lead in the standings to 19 points.

The initial race was halted by a red flag midway through lap seven following a three-rider incident involving Joe Francis, James Ellison and Ryan Vickers. Brookes had led the early la🐠ps with Redding, recovering from a poor start, down i๊n seventh place.

At the start of the 12-lap rerun, Brookes bolted into🔥 th💃e lead once again with Redding scrapping for seventh position.

Brookes held off a race-long charge from Tommy Bridewell to clinch victory by 2.256s which sees the Oxford Racing Du🎉cati rider’s BSB title hopes ended with the Wiltshire rider needing to win the opener.

Redding charged through to🔜 third place to complete the rostrum and if he repeats the result in both of tomorrow’s r༒aces he will seal the BSB title regardless of what Brookes can produce.

Tyco BMW’s Christian Iddon had to settle for fourth place after missing out on the rostrum by seven-tenths of a second withꦕ Danny Buchan in fifth place for FS-3 Racing Kawasaki and Jason O’Halloran in six🍬th place for McAMS Yamaha.

Peter Hickman had to settle for seventh place after dropping off the front-running pack for S꧒miths Racing BMW but stayed comfortably ahead of Honda’s Xavi Fores.

With Andrew Irwin in ninth place for Honda, Taylor Mackenzie (Tyco BMW) beat younger brother Tarran Mackenzie (McAMS Yamaha) to 10^th place.
