Roberts Leads Qualifying

Australian ‘wild card’ rider Brendan Roberts finished on top at the end of the first qualifying for this weekend’s Suzuki GSX- R European Cup third round at Silverstone. Roberts, who is leading the British Superstock 1000 championship, adapted to his GSX-R750 Suzuki almost straight away and finished ahead of series leader Xavier Simeon. Third quickest today was another ‘wild card’ Tommy Bridewell, with Magnus Houston fourth.

Brendan Roberts - 1st, 1:31.57:

"It took me a little while to get used to the bike, but once I did I felt pretty comfortable. It’s a great pleasure to be racing at an International event like this and being seen by so many people. I had a little suspension problem today, but that was about it. I’m looking forward to the rest of the weekend."

Friday GSX-R Cup Qualifying:

1 B Roberts,
2 X Simeon,
3 T Bridewell,
4 M Houston,
5 R Barber,
6 S Castellani.
