Round 5 – Mallory Park
25-27 June 2010
Returning from another impressive performance at the recent Isle of Man TT, Jenny Tinmouth was competing at Mallory Park in round five of the Fuchs-Silkolene British Supersport Championship last weekend. The Leicestershire circuit is a compact 1.41 miles, a stark contrast to the 37.73 miles of public road that makes up the TT circuit. Jenny achieved an excellent 17th position overall and finished in fourth place of the Supersport Cup competitors, a position that elevates her back up the standings to third place, just two points behind the leader, Dan Kneen.
Riding her sorrymate.com Honda CBR600RR, Jenny initially took a few laps to dial back in to the short circuit at Mallory Park, but was soon back in the swing of things with a respectable free practice time. She elected to sit out the afternoon practice on the Friday, as she wasn’t feeling too well, so chose to get some well earned rest in order to recoup her strength for the following day’s qualifying.
Qualifying went well; some suspension modifications had been made overnight which helped Jenny achieve a best time of 59.069 seconds which placed her provisionally 25th on the grid. She went a fraction quicker during the afternoon’s final qualifying session, but was to drop a place, leaving her in 26th position for Sunday’s race.
Jenny made a good start to the race, but was squeezed in the first corner, leaving her second to last. However, riding with determination she quickly made up two places under braking into the Edwina’s chicane, and went on to make up a further three places in consecutive laps, putting in quality moves at the hairpin. Over the coming laps Jenny would hunt down Jesse Trayler, setting her personal best ever time around Mallory Park in the process, a time of 58.392 seconds. Having exchanged positions momentarily three laps from the end of the race, Jenny had to make an attempt to get past Trayler on the very last lap. She achieved this once again at the hairpin, making a block pass, Trayler tried all he could to cut back inside, but hit Jenny’s rear wheel and went down, leaving the Ellesmere Port star to take 17th position and move up to third in the Supersport Cup standings.
Jenny Tinmouth:
“That was a great race, I really enjoyed it! Having a bit of a scrap during the race was good fun, and I’m really pleased that I managed a faster lap in the race than in qualifying to get into the low 58’s. I’m now looking forward to getting stuck in again this weekend at Knockhill!”
