Preston motorbike racing brothers battle to hard-earned finishes at Donington Park

It was another productive weekend on the track for Preston brothers Freddie and Charlie Barnes.

Motorbike racing siblings were in action at Donington Park, both achieving good results in their respective classes in the ZYN British Superbike Championship round two.

Freddie was riding his Sencat Racing Triumph 765 in the Supersport class and brother Charlie was aboard his Sencat Racing Aprilia 660 in the Sportbike class.

Charlie had a crash while qualifying which meant he started well down the grid.

However, he did not let his lowly starting position affect him as he stormed through the field to finish in an excellent 14th spot.

In qualifying, Freddie would start race one in 15th spot on the grid and he initially battled his way up to 11th place.

He was having a great race until disaster struck and he had a small crash.

The first of the brothers to race on Sunday was Charlie and he showed great consistency to earn 15th place.

The Supersport feature race then saw Freddie battle away to earn a 16th finish.

Freddies team-mate in the Supersport class, Lee Johnston had a high speed off at Craner Curves so all the team wish him a speedy recovery.

Next up the team head to Scotland and the Knockhill circuit over the weekend of June 19-21
