JX fuel card Kawasaki Team - Superstock 1000
Hello All
I’m back this season and it’s been a while since my last blog, so much has happened. I am now riding for the JX fuel card Kawasaki Team in Superstock 1000, (they also have a Superbike).
I missed the first round at Brand Hatch, so our first round this weekend was at Oulton Park, (I had only ridden the bike once before in a test, in the wet)! The weekend went quite well though, starting with the first session in free practice and luckily it was dry for this. The bike felt fast although the handling needed a lot of work but my mechanic had a good understanding of the bike and K-Tech suspension this helped a lot throughout the whole weekend.
The first qualifying went ok but I still had some problems with the front-end set-up. We had a bad start to the race and by this time it was wet but after three laps I started to make a move, the track was still slippery but not as bad as the test, we had to ride with caution, which paid off in the end as we ended up in sixth place. The whole team was pleased, as this was the good start to the season we wanted!
Next stop Donnington Park Round 3 on the 23rd, 24th and 25th May. Between now and then I have a test at Donnington, I just hope it stays dry and it all goes well.
As it is my first blog, I would just like to say a big thank you to all my sponsors for all there support being – Carole Nash Insurance, The Team at Axel, Walker Signs & Street furniture, Lenzkes GB Derek and Janet & Rob, lets hope it all goes well this season!
Best Wishes
