It was a great weekend for Eazi-Grip supported riders and teams at Round 8 of the British Superbike Championship at Cadwell Park.  The weekend saw supported teams top the podium in both Race 1 and 2.  Eazi-Grip™ tank grips play an important role for riders at this physically demanding circuit who need that extra bit of grip with its sharp gradient changes, long fast curves and tricky hairpins, not to mention the mountain section where the bikes go airborne!

With only 3 races left and 75 points up for grabs before the showdown begins, 9 riders are fighting it out for the top six places in the showdown with 7 of those riders being Eazi-Grip™ supported.  We couldn’t be happier to have some of the best riders and teams in the country using and testing our products!

Race 1

1. Leon Haslam – JG Speedfit Kawasaki

Race 2

1. James Ellison – McAMS Yamaha
2. Lee Jackson – Smiths Racing BMW
3. Peter Hickman – Smiths Racing BMW

Congratulations to Lee Jackson on his first podium and new lap record!

The 7^th round of the 2017 British Superbike Championship was held at the fast and abrasive Thruxton circuit.  The Hampshire circuit never disappoints to host some of the best racing of the season.  As this circuit is only used a few times a year it is a great testing ground for our Eazi-Guard™ stone chip protection.

Eazi-Grip™ supported riders once again topped the timesheets in both Race 1 and 2.  Anvil Hire TAG Racing’s Josh Brookes took the top step of the podium alongside Peter Hickman of Smiths Racing with 7 supported riders finishing in the top ten.  Race 2 saw eight supported riders finishing within the top ten with Peter Hickman on the top step of the podium and Leon Haslam of JG Speedfit Kawasaki finishing in third.  With only 5 races left at Cadwell Park and Silverstone before the showdown begins at Oulton Park in September the points chase is close.  Eight Eazi-Grip™ supported riders are battling it out for the top six places to fight for the title in the final three events.

Our thoughts and condolences go out to the friends and family of Mark Fincham of the True Heroes Racing team.  A true hero who will be missed by all of the racing paddock.
