Bermuda’s Jediah Cumbermack made an emphatic start to his 2026 ZYN British Superbike Championship campaign, securing a prestigious podium finish during a high-octane opening weekend at Oulton Park.
Representing ROKiT Rookies, Cumbermack lined up in the ultra-competitive 1PMobile National Junior Sportbike Class—a category renowned for grooming the next generation of elite motorcycling talent.
The weekend began with a display of measured aggression. Navigating the technical twists of the Cheshire circuit, Cumbermack maintained a relentless pace over 10 laps to cross the line in fifth place. Stopping the clock at 18:11.764, he finished just 9.834 seconds behind the winner, Laken Payne, providing a vital early points haul.
However, it was in the second heat that the Bermudian truly showcased his championship credentials. In a race defined by razor-thin margins and tactical slipstreaming, Cumbermack found an extra gear.
Improving his total race time by nearly seven seconds, he powered his ROKiT machine to a 10-lap time of 18:04.917.
Cumbermack’s clinical execution saw him cross the line just 6.169 seconds behind race winner Marley Mackenzie to claim his first podium of the 2026 season.
