British Superbikes: Scott Redding claimed the opening Bennetts British Superbike Championship race win of the weekend at the TT Circuit Assen, in a race that was red flagged due to conditions and half points awarded as two third races distance had not been completed. That elevated Leon Haslam into second place and the Moto Rapido Ducati Racing rider was holding off a hard-charging Max Cook, Danny Kent and Bradley Ray with Ryde holding eighth place. However, with conditions deteriorating again, the race was red flagged on the warm up lap and not restarted. Redding celebrated his third win of the season, marking the PBM Team’s 150th in the championship ahead of Haslam and Kent as the McAMS Racing Yamaha rider bounced back from his Donington Park crash to take third. Charlie Nesbitt was fourth for MasterMac Honda, ahead of Iddon who regrouped and regained ground after his off track excursion on the AJN Steelstock Kawasaki.
