Jake Dixon finished his debut World Superbike Championship season with two points finishes at Jerez last weekend.

Having finished 11th in the opening race of the weekend on Saturday, he followed it up with 15th in the Superpole race on Sunday, before finishing with another point with 15th in the final race of the weekend. Whilst not the ideal finish to the season for Dixon, it shows the progress he has made as the season has progressed.

The ten-lap Superpole Race was first up after a short morning warm-up. This sprint got underway in dry conditions but under very grey skies. Starting from twelfth on the grid respectively, Dixon was not able to maximise his start, slipping several places during the opening lap. After recovering to fifteenth, Jake ran a relatively consistent race, holding the position to the finish line.

The Superpole Race results meant that Dixon started P12 on the Race 2 grid. He made a reasonable start but got caught up in traffic through the opening corners. Pushing hard to prevent gaps from opening up ahead, Jake was lying fifteenth by lap five. As drops of rain began to fall on the Jerez track in the closing stages, Dixon briefly gained a position before losing it again and then conceding another place to his teammate, ultimately finishing fifteenth.

As the 2026 season concludes, and having missed a significant part of the championship due to injury, Dixon finishes nineteenth in the final standings with 41 points.

Speaking after the race, Dixon said: “This isn’t the way I would have wanted to finish the championship. I haven’t felt comfortable with the bike all weekend, so I just tried to get the best possible result in these conditions.

“Anyway, today brings to a close what has undoubtedly been a very difficult season, but at least we finished the final race in the points. We’ll focus on the positives we can take from this year, particularly the progress we showed before arriving here at Jerez, and the fact that I’m fully fit and super motivated to work with my team towards next season with very different goals.

“I’d like to thank everyone on my team and at Honda for giving their best and working incredibly hard throughout the year. We’ll come back stronger.”
