Pete Jennings of Rizla Suzuki took on something of a role reversal this weekend at Snetterton, instead of maintaining a race machine for someone else to ride he was actually the perso💙n doing the racing.
He com💞peted in both legs of the New Era Moto Sixty races and won both, he also raced in the Suzuki GSX-R Trophy, where he finished in third place.
The first race almost ended in tears when he ran out of fuel whilst leading, "We had a small drama at the end. I was starting to run out of fuel and I thought I'll never get another lap in so I came into pitlane. We did a quick splash and dash and I finished the race exiting pit lane - I won! I d⛎id another lap after that as I didn't actually see the chequered flag so I ended up being classified a lap in front of everybody else. It was a good race I enjoyed it," grinned Jennings.
The Suzuki GSX-R Trophy saw Jennings with a battle on his hands as he started out in fourth place and worked hard to pull off a podium finish. "Lee Hodge and Jay Dunn were riding well, I was hoping to battle with them and hang on their tail really but I couldn't hang on. I enjoyed it; the GSX-R 600 is a nice bike to ride. The idea of the one make class is to bring on novice ri💮ders, I think it is a good thing," he s🦹aid.
The final race of the day saw another win come his way, "We had no dramas this time! I had a good dice at the start and was up to second place. Then Jamie Wheatley came by and took second from me. That didn't last as he had a massive high side which bro𒉰ught the safety car out for a few laps. I squeezed into the lead and held it."
Jennings had been in touch with Crutchlow to tell him abo♔ut his first win but still had the news of the third place to break to him, "I think he might be a bit disappointed with third ꦗtoday, think he might tell me off!" he joked.
He will return to his൲ usual role of chief technican when BSB returns at Donington Park on the 21st - 23rd September.
