Jake Dixon proved just how well the all new Aprilia RRV450 handles in all conditions this weekend with four stunning wins at Cadwell Park. James Folkard had entered the round as the leader after dominating the four races in Anglesey and with all eyes set on Connor Tagg to cut the gap at the top, nobody thought about keeping tabs on Dixon.

Son of Sidecar and Solo legend, Darren, Jake cut the gap between himself and Folkard to just 17 points after starting the weekend in third overall and 57 points behind the leader. As for Folkard, well he finished in a strong second in all but one of the races to keep hold of his championship lead, whilst Connor Tagg had a mixed weekend and only visited the podium twice.

Local rider Jamie Thackeray impressed all on Sunday to claim his first ever Thundersport GB podiums and Australian visitor Brad Shaw was also on the rostrum for the first time.

In the Bikesport News Superstock 600 class, Adam Robinson looked to start where he left off at Cadwell after snatching pole position away from Chaz Beale right at the last and getting away from the line well in race one.

Looking comfortable, Robinson was away with it until disaster struck on lap ten of 14 and he was forced to pull out due to a mechanical issue which was ultimately to end his weekend prematurely.

As it was though, it left a manic scrap for the win between four or five riders as Nick Anderson, Scott Wilson, Tommy Mountain, Tom Meehan and Chaz Beale all fought for the glory.

However, from tenth on the grid, the win had to go to local hero Tommy Mountain, who returns to the class after a few rounds out, finishing ahead of Scott Wilson and Nick Anderson with Meehan finishing in fourth.

In races two and three on Monday, Tommy was on fire and eased to victory in the morning ahead of Anderson and podium newcomer Chaz Beale, who had seen off Gareth Robinson. But for the final battle, Mountain failed to make it a treble after going down on lap six to leave Nick Anderson with his first win since the opening round, finishing ahead of Wilson and Brown.

In the Alto Digital Thundersport GP2 class, it was a simple case of picking names out of a hat as to who would win as we witnessed four different riders tasting glory in Lincolnshire.

In dry conditions, race one got underway and four riders stretched away from the rest of the pack to do battle and after eight laps of tussling, Northern Irish rider Marty Lennon proved victorious ahead of local riders Daniel Frear and Alan Percival.

For race two, after Dan Frear was forced to pull out on lap two, Tagg struggled to stay with the likes of Lennon and Percival as they pumped in some quick lap times but none of the trio expected to see Josh Daley quietly going about his business as the Wigan rider showed glimpses of magic to sweep past the lot of them and take the win 0.2 seconds ahead of Lennon and Percival.

Race three looked like it may also belong to Daley after a rain hit circuit saw Josh and Connor pull away from Dan Frear and begin their own fight for the overall win. Daley looked to have it in the bag as they started the final lap but series leader Connor Tagg had waited long enough to make his move and once he'd made it stick, there was no going back as he snatched victory ahead of Daley and Frear.

In the last race of the day, with Daley struggling on three cylinders and Tagg just trying to keep the bike on the circuit, it was left to local rider Dan Frear to become the fourth different rider to win in as many races after he saw off the advances of Marty Lennon to win, with Tagg taking third.

In the Minitwins, Ian Popplewell was keen to take four out of four at his local circuit and after doing the business on Sunday, it was Dave Palfreman that upset the party, claiming his first win of the season and ending Poppy’s 100% record.

In the final race, Popplewell won again after Palfreman failed to finish whilst Leigh Hutchinson, Josh Wood, Sam Nicholson and Claire Domoney all enjoyed their trips to the rostrum.

For the Aprilia Superteens, Tom Oliver continued to stretch away from the chasing pack to extend his championship lead with two wins and two second place finishes.

Perhaps the surprise package of the weekend was Ross Twyman, he started the weekend with two second place finishes on Sunday and then mastered the tricky wet conditions on Monday to grab his first ever Aprilia Superteen win.

In the final race of the day, Twyman looked like he'd settled for second after Bradley Jones got off to a great start and looked set for a maiden win of his own, but unfortunately for Brad, he threw it all away with five corners remaining and gift wrapped win number two to Twyman with Oliver taking second and improving newcomer David Allingham claiming his first ever podium finish in third.

After clearing up at Anglesey a fortnight ago, leaving him four points from the championship leader, Chris Mort must be sitting at home now wondering where it all went wrong in the Motorbike Accident Law Formula 600 class, after the Malpas rider failed to score any points at Cadwell.

Instead it was all change as Ben Field, of Kings Heath, set his stall out for the year by claiming his first ever Thundersport GB victory on Sunday in the dry and picking up the spoils on Monday to leave himself just one point behind new championship leader Richard McNeill.

McNeill had himself taken the new series lead in race one after claiming second position ahead of Adam Oliver and in race two, was made to play second fiddle again as Oliver claimed his first win. But in the final race the pair both went AWOL on lap nine to halt their battle for the win and hand the spoils to Ben Field, who was only too happy to oblige ahead of Kingsley Ruddy and Craig Sproston.

With Ian Mackman away at the TT, Phil Crowe's defence of the Morello Services GP1 title was made a lot easier this weekend at his home circuit as the Market Rasen rider cruised home to take three victories.

In race one, with a dry first part and a wet ending, Crowe saw off the challenges from Knight Road Racing's Alex Heaton to take glory, whilst veteran Greg Lewis rode brilliantly to take third.

Heaton's second overall was also good enough to claim his first Superstock 1000 win of the season, whilst his team mate Scot Adam, was looking for a couple more laps to see off defending Supertwins champion Lee Reveley, after the pair finished in a respectable fifth and sixth overall.

In race two, Scotsman Michael Robertson got his act together again after learning the circuit and despite finishing a full 18 seconds behind the dominant Crowe, he was miles ahead of Peter Baker to claim the Superstock 1000 win ahead of Angelo DeRosa and Chris Barnes.

As for the twins, Reveley made it count to take win number two of the weekend ahead of Liney and Adam in the severely wet conditions and finish sixth overall.

For the final race of the weekend, Robertson crawled himself closer to Crowe to prove what a talent he is and it was joy again for Greg Lewis, who took yet another podium finish.

DeRosa took fourth overall to finish second in the Superstock standings ahead of Heaton and this time Scot Adam took advantage of Lee Reveley's mechanical issues to take the win, with Flett making the podium in third.

After Darryl Harrison and Colin McCabe made ground in the Bridgestone Thundersport 500 championship at Anglesey, Andy Lawson put his terrible weekend in Wales behind him to extend his series lead after claiming two wins, a second and a third.

It was a return to Thundersport GB for Adam Shelton that really shook up the rest of the field as the Stinger fought for the lead in race one before falling and taking Harrison with him to leave Lawson with an easy win ahead of Webster and McCabe.

In race two though , Shelton made no mistake as he won with Lawson taking second place and McCabe seeing off Barton for the final podium spot after Harrison failed to finish yet again from pole position.

Shelton was no slouch in the wet either and on Monday he blitzed the field to take win number two ahead of McCabe and Lawson.

For the final race of the day, the 2010 Minitwins Champion Andy Lawson made sure of his status at the top of the table with some great riding skills to see of Shelton and Harrison who finished in second and third.

An improved grid in the LMB Streetfighter 'A' class saw some competition at last for series leader Keith Smith as he was beaten fair and square on Monday by Streetfighter newcomer Dave Milling.

Smith had claimed two wins of his own on Saturday and finished second twice on Monday to keep the pressure on the rest of the title chasers , but it was Milling that stole the headlines with some great wet weather riding on Monday.

As for the rest, well Sean Goldsmith and Andy Denyer were present as usual on the podium but need to up the pace if they’re to keep up with Smithy.

In the 'B' class, even Barry Utting calls out for competitors after he stormed to yet another four victories. Rob Norman, Rob Pragnell and Barry Rudge look likely to fight it out for second as they huffed and puffed but couldn't blow Utting's house down.

For the 'C' class, Brad Davey uncharacteristically fell in races one and two to leave Tony Hughes to claim all four victories again. It was also nice to see Duncan McMillan, Garry Coombes and Mick Everitt all having a good go and hopefully it won't be too long before they're fighting him for the wins.

In the GP3 class, after series leader James Robinson won the opening race, he, like his brother, ran into mechanical issues to leave Aaron Hay to take three wins and lead the championship himself after seeing off fights from Scott Dootson and Paul Hedison.
