Jason O’Halloran is extracting the positives from Brands Hatch’s sixth round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship (BSB), which saw him complete both outings as he still recovers from an ankle injury.

The Australian failed to finish the programme of races at Knockhill two weeks ago, leaving the Honda Racing rider satisfied with his efforts at the weekend where he collected a 14-15 scorecard.

“I do have positives to take away from this weekend,” O’Halloran declared. “We’ve come away with two race finishes and some points when at the moment for me to complete a full race distance is a struggle with the injury. If you think back to Knockhill two weeks ago, I didn’t complete two races and very nearly didn’t complete one.

“This weekend we have progressed and in the second half of race two I was stronger than the second half of the first race, so I made another step forward. There’s no hiding at the moment it’s a struggle for me, I just can’t do what I want to do on the CBR, but that’s just a time and patience thing and it’ll come soon enough.

“It’s frustrating as we all know we’re capable of more and we can be up there, which we proved at the start of the season with podiums in the first three rounds.”

O’Halloran holds down 11th in the championship standings as the series heads to Thruxton on 3-5 August, marking the seventh stop of the series.
