Tommy Bridewell completes a perfect Sunday at Oulton Park by dominating race 3 for back-to-back wins at the opening 2021 British Superbike Championship Showdown round.

But it was a disaster for Jason O'Halloran who fell for the second time in the three Oulton races, costing him the championship lead to McAMS Yamaha team-mate and Saturday's race 1 winner Tarran Mackenzie.

However Mackenzie missed out on the race 3 podium after receiving a 3-second penalty for causing a late crash for Lee Jackson, dropping him from third to fifth place.

That penalty meant Bradley Ray joined Bridewell and runner-up Josh Brookes on the - reigning champion Brookes making amends for his race 2 fall with a second podium of the weekend.

Mackenzie will now take a slim 2-point lead over O'Halloran into the penultimate Donington Park round on October 1-3, with Bridewell now just 9 points behind in third...
