Kawasaki boss pleased with rider lineup for 2010
MSS Colchester Kawasaki team boss Nick Morgan believes that he has the ideal package to begin his assault on the British Superbike Championship in 2010.
Having signed up existing rider Simon Andrews and Superbike Cup winner Gary Mason to lead the charge in 2010, Morgan believes that he’ll be able to enjoy Christmas this year, safe in the knowledge that the team is nearly ready for the New Year.
Kawasaki recorded a number of impressive results in 2009 despite many expecting them to be struggling to break from the middle of the pack, with Andrews securing a podium finish at Cadwell Park and strong results at Thruxton and Knockhill in particular as he recorded a sixth place finish in the championship.
Mason on the other hand secured a total of 12 top-ten victories, despite running with the low-budget Quay Garage Honda team.
And Morgan is more than happy with his choice of riders, claiming that he was even able to turn riders down when it came to picking his men for the new season.
“We think this is a great line-up,” he claimed. “Simon was always our number one choice after his brilliant season but it was very flattering to have pretty much every top rider from BSB and beyond come to visit us, we must be doing something right these days.
“Gary had a brilliant season, he dominated the Privateers Cup but actually he battled up front with the guys on top machinery all year long and showed real desire, he knows this is a real life line and he’s not going to waste it.
“We’re actually well ahead of previous years in terms of package, riders and sponsors, maybe now we can enjoy Xmas a bit more!”
