Ross Burridge, Senior Racing and Marketing Co-ordinator, said: "It was a fantastic weekend for the Superstock and Superstock 1000 class Kawasaki riders – a massive well done to them all for their podium performances. Success in the Superstock 1000 class is important to us as it shows just what a machine the ZX-10R is. The bikes in the Superstock class aren’t heavily modified – so ultimately, you can go and buy a race winner from a dealership.
“It’s a massive shame that James Ellison couldn’t race, but we hope he is fully fit for the next round at Oulton Park. A big pat on the back for Jack Kennedy for racing with a fractured leg too – an 11
th and 14
th place finish in the British Superbikes is admirable in full fitness, so to do it with a fracture is unreal. Roll on Oulton Park.”
The next round takes place at Oulton Park on September 4 – 6. For more information or to book your tickets, visit:
