Who to watch ·

Dean Thomas, riding for Hawk Kawasaki in the British Superbike class. Dean is looking more confident in every outing, and he gained his best results of the season so far at the last round, Mallory Park, scoring a fourth and sixth place · www.dean-thomas.com

Cal Crutchlow and Craig Jones, racing for Northpoint Honda Racing in the British Supersport class, are riding extremely well at the moment, and Jones gained his second podium of the year at Mallory Park, with Crutchlow scoring a fantastic fourth place. Jones is lying fourth in the championship, and Crutchlow is eighth. It is the local round for 20-year-old Craig Jones, who originally comes from Northwich, a mere stone’s throw from Oulton, and he will have plenty of home grown support to cheer him on.

Leon Camier took his second win of the season in the British Supersport class at Mallory Park, and is now leading the series by twelve points as he heads to Oulton Park this weekend · www.leoncamier.com

Dave Johnson will be competing in the Superstock series with Xpress Racing. After a confidence inspiring fifth place at Mallory Park, the young Australian is looking forward to the race meeting this Bank Holiday weekend · www.xpressracing.co.uk
