BSB: Dream double for Dixon

It was a dream double for RAF Regular and Reserve Kawasaki’s Jake Dixon as he fought against the odds to beat experienced rivals James Ellison and Shane Byrne in the second race at Knockhill.

Unlike his lights-to-flag dominant run in race one, Dixon had to get his elbows out in the second outing as he was bullied back to fourth place by Mossey, Ellison and Byrne.

However, the 21-year-old found a second wind as he fought back past, passing Byrne at the hairpin before two lairy lunges saw him pass Mossey and Ellison in two successive laps.
