It was a strong weekend for the Riders Racing Ducati Team this weekend at the third round of the Maxxis British Supersport Championship at Silverstone Circuit, 27th – 29th April. Martin Jessopp brought the Ducati 749 home in a strong eighth place after a disastrous start saw him fall back to 16th position after the first lap. The 21-year-old from Yeovil ran consistently good times throughout the weekend at the 2.21 mile track and looked comfortable on the Ducati. A strong second qualifying session saw the youngster end up on the front row, for the second time this season.
Riders Racing Ducati rider Martin Jessopp secured a confidence building seventh position in the British Supersport Championship at Thruxton circuit this weekend. The 21-year-old from Yeovil rode a strong race despite the fact that a stone had put a hole in the radiator in the early stages of the race causing the Ducati to overheat throughout the race, this also effected the power delivery of the bike and therefore he had to bring the 749 home in a good top ten position.
