The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
The three G&S Racing Kawasaki riders head north of the border to Knockhill for the next round of their respective championships this weekend.
Tom Fisher and Sammy Coventry enjoyed some strong results for the Wyberton team in their Superstock 1000 championship round at Donington Park, when they were riding as part of the support programme to the World Superbike championship round at the Leicestershire circuit.
Fisher completed the two part race in 16th place while Coventry finished in the points in 13th position.
Both riders are anticipating another good showing at Knockhill where the Stock 1000 riders will have two races to contest and they will be hoping to bring some more points home for the team.
Meanwhile, young Dutchman Jorel Boerboom is to continue to represent the team in the Superstock 600 class.
He joined the team at Donington, where he took part in his first race in the class after taking the step up from the Motostar Championship.
He was under no pressure in his first outing on the bike and, with little track time prior to the race, he was never going to get up into a points scoring position.
Boerboom started his race from 30th place on the grid and he rode well, making up places to complete his race in 24th position.
He really likes the short Knockhill circuit and is hoping to move up into a points scoring position in only his second outing for the team.
The timetable is as follows: Superstock 1000: Friday – Free practice one (FP1) 12.20pm; FP2 4.15pm. Saturday – Qualifying 9.40am; Race one (24 laps) 3.45pm. Sunday – warm-up 9.40am; Race two (24 laps) 12.40pm.
Superstock 600: Friday – FP1 9am; FP2 – 2pm. Saturday – Qualifying 11.55am. Sunday – Warm-up 9.03am; Race (22 laps) 11.15am.
- Kirton rider Aaron Clarke is being forced to sit out the racing this weekend.
His team draperRACING are still awaiting some parts for his Superstock 600 Yamaha after the bike was destroyed in a qualifying crash at Donington in the last round, when Clarke was racing as part of the support programme to the World Superbike championship round.
Nothing to speak of was salvageable and it has taken longer than thought to get replacement parts to be delivered – so there was no alternative but to withdraw him from the Knockhill round.
