British Superbike Championship: Alex Olsen continues series of podiums in the Superstock class.
The third event of the 2019 British Superbike Championship (BSB) season at Donington Park (GBR) included a triple-header with plenty of racing action. This time, there were three races in the Superbike class (BSB SBK) instead of two – one on Saturday and two on Sunday. Christian Iddon (GBR / Tyco BMW Motorrad) was the best-placed BMW rider in race one. He secured seventh place on his new BMW S 1000 RR, closely followed by team-mate Keith Farmer (GBR) in eighth position. Peter Hickman (GBR / Smiths Racing) crossed the line in tenth place. Race two on Sunday had to be stopped after 18 laps due to rain. Iddon was classified in sixth place, Hickman in ninth and Farmer in tenth. Conditions had largely dried out in time for the third race. Iddon once again claimed sixth place, with Hickman following in seventh. Farmer retired after a fall.
The Superstock class (BSB STK) also boasted a packed schedule. A two-part marathon race took place on Saturday, with another race on Sunday.
