Steady End to Season for Roberts
18 October 2007
Brendan Roberts had to settle for a disappointing sixth and seventh place respectively in the two National Superstock races at the final round at Brands Hatch at the weekend, 12th – 14th October. Roberts was hoping for a strong end to the season but it was not to be as he struggled to find a suitable set up on the Ducati 1098 around the tight 1.2-mile circuit. With a whole host of riders competing in the Superstock Championship, conditions on the track during qualifying were not ideal. With around 40 riders all competing for the pole position spot and only two seconds covering the entire field of 38 riders it was always going to be a tight fought battle to the chequered flag.

Fourth For Jackson At Sunny Snetterton
21 May 2007
Krystal Racing Space Air's Lee Jackson narrowly missed out on his second podium of the season as the Metzeler Racetec National Superstock Championship paid its annual visit to Snetterton today.

After finding his feet and a consistent pace, he had made his way up to fifth by Lap Seven, before taking another spot when Luke Quigley, who had been running fourth, crashed out on Lap 11.
