G&S Racing Kawasaki complete their campaign in style as Toms claims second

The G&S Racing Kawasaki team enjoyed a productive end to the season with all three riders recording strong results.

The two Superstock 600 riders TJ Toms and Kevin Keyes were exceptional in their race on Sunday – with Toms a super second and Keyes fifth – while Milo Ward rode well to complete his race in the Stock 1000 class in 16th position.

The Pirelli Superstock 600 race was highly competitive with both G&S riders in the mix for the win.

Keyes held the lead for a few laps mid-race and eventually crossed the finish line in fifth place.

There was just half-a-second separating the top six riders with positions exchanged on every lap.

Toms was also in the mix and moved between third and fifth during the race but on the final lap managed to get his Kawasaki up into second to seal his second runners-up finish of the campaign.

Toms ends his campaign in sixth place on 130 points, while Keyes claimed eighth on 85 for the Wyberton team.

In the Pirelli Superstock 1000 class, Ward had been running well in the top 15 during free practice but was caught out in qualifying with the tricky conditions and was forced to start from the ninth row.

He got away to a good start, but the race was halted for a crash and he had it all to do again.

Ward made good progress and was very near to a point scoring position, but was unable to make a pass stick and completed the race in 16th place.

Team manager Tom Fisher said: “What an awesome end to a brilliant season we had at Brands Hatch.

“All three riders excelled themselves and the Stock 600 race was by far the best and closest race of the day.”

Team owner Mark Fisher added: “Our team has done a great job this year, all of our riders have been exceptional plus we have secured our first race win with Kevin.

“Tom has done a great job as team manager and I am proud of him, all the riders and support crew who have worked so hard this year.

“Thanks to all our loyal sponsors for their continued support as without them we would not be in this position. It’s been a great season with some impressive results.”

The team now head to Bishopscourt in Ireland, where Toms and Keyes will be riding at the Sunflower trophy meeting.

They will be joined by Tom Fisher, who will be riding Ward’s bike and are all looking forward to a fun weekend to round off the season.
