Jake Dixon riding on the Appleyard Macadam Doodson Yamaha had a strong weekend at round two of the Motorpoint British Supersport Championship  at the picturesque Oulton Park Circuit. Dixon had two good races and gained a fifth and eighth place respectively in the two races.

Jake finished his season in 2013 at Oulton Park after breaking his scaphoid at the technical circuit so he was weary of returning here, he  rode well during qualifying and put in a solid time that saw him sit in eighth place on the grid for race one. He got a good start and was  setting some strong and consistent lap times slowly moving his way through the field. He finished the 12-lap race in fifth position.

He placed eighth again on the grid for race two on Monday and he was eager to get some more strong points. He struggled off the start and was  unable to keep up with the front runners and had to settled with an eighth position.

Jake Dixon - "I can't say I was looking forward to the weekend at Oulton as this is where my season ended last year. I knew I wanted to get  two solid results under my belt and move on to Snetterton. I was really pleased with my race one result of fifth place, I was adamant I wanted  and needed a solid finish. The team worked well but we made some changes overnight for the second race on Monday and the bike just didn't  handle as I would have hoped in race two. I really fought and did the best I could during the race on Monday but I just wasn't able to put in the lap times I wanted. I am pleased to have got two top ten results from here and now we have a base setting for when we come back later in  the year. I am looking forward to getting to Snetterton and hopefully get a solid set-up early in the weekend and I'd like to be running top  six every weekend. I would like to thank the Appleyard Macadam Doodson Yamaha team for all their hard work over the weekend and hope we can  make progress and move forwards at the next round."
