Both Chris Martin and Steven Neate overcame the problematic weather conditions which affected qualifying to claim a fantastic set of results for Gearlink Kawasaki in their debut race at Thruxton where Chris secured a podium position of third and Steven 10th in the opening round of the Fuchs-Silkolene British Supersport championship on Sunday. Starting from a fourth row grid position Martin was quick to move forward and soon made inroads towards the leading group. By lap six he was up to third place behind Glen Richards but his progress was thwarted with the arrival on circuit of the course car, brought out to slow the race and allow for the removal of debris following a crash.
The Isilon MSS Discovery Kawasaki team enjoyed a very positive day today at Donington Park, home of the penultimate round of the Bennetts British Superbike championship. Chassis changes have given Michael Rutter more feedback from his Ninja ZX-10R, enabling the 34-year-old from Kirkby Mallory to be closer to the leaders’ lap-times than previously this season.
