CCS Florida/Southeast/Mid-Atlantic and ASRA Roebling Road Raceway June 9-10 2007 Racers traveled from no less than 18 states to attend the CCS Regional and ASRA Team Challenge event at Roebling Road Raceway. Georgia’s Michael Smith showed up with a Kawasaki ZX-10R and took top honors in the sweltering heat. He ran away with his first win Saturday afternoon during the Unlimited Supersport race after nailing an early lead. North Carolina’s Seth Starnes was in hot pursuit on his Suzuki GSX-R1000 in a two-rider battle for the lead. Smith crossed the finish line in the seven-lap event ahead of Starnes with Ivan Milan taking third place by less than half a bikelength ahead of Alex Miniaci. Smith was out front again on Sunday during the Middleweight Supersport race after working his way through traffic from a third row start on a Kawasaki ZX-6R. He finished ahead of Florida’s Andres Londono and Greg Melka. Smith was gridded on the third row again for the Unlimited Grand Prix race and back on board the ZX-10R. Melka had nailed the holeshot on his Yamaha YZF-R1, but Smith and Michael Rouleau were not far behind as they worked through the first lap. Smith ran off the course in turn one at the start of the second lap and dropped back several positions. By lap four, he was up to third place and headed for the front. He took over second place on lap six and was in the lead for the final lap of the race. Melka finished second and Rouleau third. In his final race of the weekend, Middleweight Superbike, Smith was again gridded on the row three and had to work his way to the front of the field. He had taken over the lead from Melka in lap three and maintained his advantage to the checkered flag. Melka finished ahead of Londono. Londono finished the weekend even with Smith’s four first-place finishes. Londono won the Middleweight Grand Prix, GTU, Heavyweight Supersport and Heavyweight Superbike classes. The South Carolina team of Chucktown Moto with riders Kenny Rodriguez and Matt Huber won the Overall ASRA Team Challenge event finishing all 75 laps in under two hours. Rodriguez rode the team’s Yamaha YZF-R1 for the first half of the event, putting the GTO class entry in first place early on and keeping up a pace that eventually put them a full lap ahead of the other 13 teams. The race was completed in one hour and 45 minutes with the team running lap times in the 1:15’s. The Pioneer Ventures team of Joel Rogers and Sterling Eanes won the GTU class completing 53 laps. The GT Lights class was won by the Touring Sport Ducati team of Frank Shockley and Brad Phillips, completing 71 laps. And the Solo Challenge was won by Ivan Milan on a GSX-R1000, finishing 73 laps.

Bridgestone MotoGP: Italian/Catalan GP Debrief Q+A with Hiroshi Yamada – Bridgestone Motorsport – Manager Motorcycle Sport Tuesday 12 June 2007 Closely fought battles in the last two MotoGP events, back-to-back races in Italy and Catalunya, have raised the tension at the head of the MotoGP championship with Valentino Rossi taking the victory in Mugello and Bridgestone-shod Ducati rider Casey Stoner excelling at the Circuit de Catalunya last weekend to take his lead of the classification to 14 points after seven races. Stoner’s Catalan win, his fourth victory of the season, took the total number of wins on Bridgestone tyres this year to five so far while all five of Bridgestone’s teams for 2007 claimed important results for their championship challenges. An exhilarating set of back-to-back races, Mr. Yamada, what is your view on Bridgestone’s performances? “These last two races in Mugello and Catalunya are two tracks where rider talent undoubtedly played a big part, but of course in order for them to win races, they must also have a race winning package, including competitive and consistent tyres over the race distance. Valentino Rossi has always been the man to beat at these tracks, so to see Casey Stoner victorious in Catalunya last weekend was a very emotional and important result for us. No rider has ever taken a MotoGP podium there on Bridgestone tyres in the past, so the win was really a pleasure and a result of the maturity and sheer competitiveness shown by Casey and Ducati this season.” In addition to Ducati, how have you rated the performance from Bridgestone’s other teams? “I believe all of our teams have performed valiantly in these last two races with some very strong points scoring results. Suzuki continue to show strong form with top eight performances from both John Hopkins and Chris Vermeulen in Mugello and Catalunya. The Pramac d’Antin team scored a well deserved podium in Mugello with a fine ride from Alex Barros, who became the seventh different Bridgestone-shod rider to score a podium this year. Honda Gresini have been unlucky but Marco’s solid results have retained his fourth place in the championship while Toni was unlucky not to challenge for a top five result in his home GP last weekend. Finally, the Kawasaki team scored a great result in Catalunya with Randy de Puniet transforming a front row grid position into fifth place in the race. These results demonstrate the strength in depth of Bridgestone’s teams this year.” Where do you see the balance of power between the tyre manufacturers as this European season unfolds? “The level of competition is extremely high at the moment between bike and tyre manufacturers and the riders themselves. Last year we struggled a lot with the consistency and durability of our tyres over race distance at certain tracks, something that we have worked hard on to improve this year. I believe these improvements have been a real benefit to our riders in races like Mugello and Catalunya, allowing them to fight for the top positions right up to the chequered flag. As the so-called ‘tyre war’ intensifies, we are aware that our rivals are working hard but we must simply continue pushing ahead with our aggressive tyre development plan in an effort to continue the momentum we have built up in the first seven races.” De Puniet’s second place on the grid in Catalunya would indicate that Bridgestone has made good progress in qualifying and you must have been pleased with Stoner getting your first pole position of 2007 in Mugello? “We acknowledged qualifying performance as an area to improve as early as the pre-season IRTA test and we are always looking at improving our one-lap qualifying tyres. Although qualifying is not as important as the race performance, starting high up the grid is certainly an advantage through the crucial opening corners. Recently our qualifying performance has improved. Casey’s pole in Mugello, albeit in wet-damp conditions, represented the first pole of the season on our tyres which was a very satisfying result. Randy’s qualifying lap in Catalunya was very special and he took everyone a bit by surprise but it was a well deserved result for both him and the Kawasaki team and followed up with an equally impressive race result.”

Yamaha Motor Italia chase the championship to Misano This weekend Misano hosts the eighth round of the 2007 World Superbike Championship and the Yamaha Motor Italia Team is fully focused and raring for more success following their second and third positions at Silverstone two weeks ago. Bad weather conditions meant the second race was cancelled, preventing the team from taking further points away. This was only the third time a superbike race has been cancelled in the championship’s twenty-year history. Misano first appeared on the superbike calendar in 1991 and has been a regular stop in the championship since 1993. The circuit is much loved by racers and fans alike with a seating capacity of 75,000. For 2007 the circuit has undergone a makeover – the track now runs in a clockwise direction as opposed to the anti-clockwise route it has taken previous years. It has also been re-surfaced. These two factors together mean this track is effectively new for all the riders. The Yamaha Motor Italia WSB Team has already had a chance to get to grips with the new-style Misano, having tested there between the Monza and Silverstone rounds last month. During the two-day test the team tried many new parts including the variable intake system used on the standard production R1. Both riders came away feeling positive about the progress they had made on their set-up as well having learnt the track. Corser was second fastest over the two days with Haga fourth fastest. Haga goes to Misano fired up after a solid second place at Silverstone which leaves him only 23 points behind the championship leader, James Toseland. Last year Haga finished fifth and third at this circuit; in 2005 he took two sixth positions and in 2004 he walked away with a pair of fourth places. Talking about the last round, Haga says, “My second place result at Silverstone was good. Of course it would’ve been ideal to take away twenty five points but to take twenty points was important for my championship fight. I was very disappointed at the cancellation of the second race because I lost the opportunity to completely close the gap on first place but that now becomes my challenge for this weekend instead.” “Having got the double win at the team’s first home round (Monza) was perfect. I would love to repeat this at our second home circuit but I have to be realistic,” Haga comments. “At our test there last month I struggled to find the right set-up so I need to resolve that before focusing on racing this weekend. The new track has lots of grip because of the new surface but it also has a lot of bumps which make it more difficult to set up the braking and general behaviour of the machine.” Corser has a good history at Misano; he achieved the Full Monty there in 2000, which consists of taking pole, winning both races and getting the fastest lap of both races also. Although he didn’t fare so well last year, failing to finish either race, he took a pair of third place finishes in 2005 and has taken pole twice at this Italian circuit. “I’m looking forward to going back to Misano after such a good test there last month. At least we can be sure that the weather will be better there than at Silverstone! Weather aside, Silverstone was a good race for me – it gave me my 110th podium and was a real step forward in terms of progress. It could well prove to be the turning point in the season for me,” Corser says. “The Misano test we did was good because we were able to make some good chassis improvements, which were proven at Silverstone. The test also gave me a chance to get to know the new direction of the track. Sure it’s bumpy but I’m not worried about that. The only issue I can see is that the first section is now quite tight and whilst it will lead to some good close racing it also means that there is only one line and no overtaking points. I will just have to see where I can create some overtaking points! I’m looking forward to this race for sure.” World Supersport Anthony West gave the Yamaha World Supersport Team their first win of the season at Silverstone, coming up from 16th place on the grid to take the top slot in the torrential rain that eventually saw the race red flagged. Broc Parkes had less fortune and crashed out of the race whilst in second position in a low-side slide that broke his foot peg and prevented him from continuing. Parkes goes to Misano with a good history at the circuit. He won an Italian Championship round there in 2005 and finished third in last year’s World Supersport race, having taken pole on the same weekend. “Rather than look back at my results so far this season I just want to focus on what’s ahead. I’ve been working out almost daily since Silverstone – the first time I have been able to really do it since I broke my collar bone – and it feels good,” Broc says. “Misano is a new circuit for everyone so it will be interesting to see how riders take to it. It’s always hot at Misano, which suits me as I’m used to training in that kind of weather back home in Australia. I feel we have a good base set-up for the bike; we’ve come a long since the start of the season even if the results don’t reflect that. Now I want to get some points on the board badly; everyone is so close on points that this championship isn’t over yet! What I really want is to walk away from Misano with a podium.” Anthony West continues to stand in for Kevin Curtain after taking the race win at Silverstone. As with Monza and Silverstone, West has not ridden the Misano circuit before but this hasn’t slowed him down at previous rounds. He will be in good company this weekend as almost none of the Supersport riders have ridden the new-look track. “I’m looking to get another good result this weekend; it’ll be nice to race in the dry and warm after Silverstone! I’m excited to go to Misano, especially off the back of my first win for the team,” Anthony says. “It’ll be a much more level playing field at Misano because very few people have ridden the new track yet. Normally I’m learning the circuit as well as trying to find the right set-up but this time everyone will be in the same boat, which will give me more chance of getting a good qualifying place. I’ll start with the same set-up as I had at Silverstone and see where we go from there. I haven’t had as much time as I’d like on the bike yet to find a good base setting but I’m not far off. It should be a good weekend.” FIM Superstock 1000 Cup The wet weather conditions at Silverstone made for a difficult race for the Yamaha Team Italia squad, though Pirro put in a good ride to take fifth just in front of Umbria Bike Team rider Matteo Baiocco. Claudio Corti struggled with his wet set-up and was only able to manage tenth place. Didier van Keymeulen took an unlucky tumble in practice at Silverstone and broke one of his lower vertebrae as well as his wrist. He had been running as one of the fastest riders up to that point. He will not be racing at Misano but his recovery period could well be less than the few months originally anticipated as he is quietly hoping to return at Brno in July. Pirro, Corti and Baiocco are certain to be pushing for the top slot on the podium this weekend at their home circuit. The championship is very close; Baiocco is in second and only 8 points behind lead-man Aitchison, Pirro is in fourth and only four points behind third place and Corti is only 5 points behind his team mate. The sixth round of the Superstock season is certain to be exciting with everyone wanting the win.

SECOND ITALIAN ROUND OF 2007 PROMISES NEW THRILLS FOR ALL REVERSE REVAMP FOR POPULAR MISANO CIRCUIT Given its location close to Italy’s Adriatic Riviera and the fact that it is usually held in the heat of a June weekend, Misano has been a favourite on the SBK trail, ever since it first appeared in 1991. Since then SBK has only missed one appointment with summer racing Italian style, making this 17th running of the event something of a minor classic – especially in the year SBK racing celebrates its 20th year of life. This happy relationship between championship and venue has been given a further boost this year, as Misano has now been resurfaced, slightly redesigned and – most radically of all – reversed in comparison to previous years. The slightly lengthened 4.180km layout has been tested out already by some of the championship’s big names but until the full heat of June has soaked into the tarmac few believe that the true nature of the track in race trim will unveil itself. CHAMPIONSHIP SHAKEN UP AFTER SILVERSTONE’S SOAKING James Toseland (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda) is still the leading light in a furious battle for ultimate supremacy in the 2007 championship, but after a brave eighth place finish in the one and only Silverstone race, the championship battle has just got even more interesting than it was already. Noriyuki Haga (Yamaha Motor Italia) is some 23 points behind Toseland (with no fewer than 12 points scoring races still to go, including Misano) while Max Biaggi (Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra) is now 13 points behind Haga but only 12 ahead of Silverstone race winner Troy Bayliss (Ducati Xerox). Any one of those four riders is still more than capable of winning the series outright, with only 48 points between long-term leader Toseland and the relentless Bayliss. CORSER DETERMINED TO SCORE WELL AFTER POSITIVE TEST Troy Corser (Yamaha Motor Italia) has already tested at Misano, like Haga and Bayliss, which should help his early charge towards cutting the gap back to the leading four. Bayliss is now some 38 points ahead of Corser, but Corser has almost that same level of advantage (35 points) back to overall sixth place rider, Lorenzo Lanzi. Lanzi is going for podium number two of his 2007 season campaign, and like his closest rival Ruben Xaus (Sterilgarda Ducati) has enjoyed a test at the new-look Misano. Xaus is a previous Misano race winner, and has been a victor at the similarly tight and twisty circuit of Valencia this season. ROLFO LOOKSING FOR ANOTHER STEP UP IN FRONT OF HOME CROWD Roby Rolfo (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda) was cruelly robbed of at least one podium finish at an Italian round this year, but he hopes to eradicate the disappointment of missing out at Monza by posting another strong display in only his second year of SBK competition. Max Neukirchner has an SBK podium finish to his name already, albeit way back in 2005, and of the current privateer bunch, his is the leading rider, in ninth place on a year-old Suzuki. LACONI’S FIFTH PUTS HIM INTO TOP TEN Regis Laconi (PSG-1 Kawasaki Corse) and Fonsi Nieto (PSG-1 Kawasaki Corse) have not had the happiest of seasons so far but an equal best season performance of fifth in the wet at Silverstone slotted Laconi back into the top ten again, for only the second time in 2007. Nieto is currently 13th, with only six points scores to his name so far. Injuries and a heavy testing schedule for the Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra team rider have put Yukio Kagayama down in 111th place thus far, and kept him off the podium at any race. LOCAL MAN LEADS MIDFIELD CHARGE AT MISANO Roman rider Michel Fabrizio (DFX Corse Honda) may be on the opposite side of Italy from his native city, but for him Misano will be another motivational high point in what has been an up and down season. Sixth at Assen he fell in the wet at Silverstone, and thus sits 12th overall, ahead of Nieto and then another strong private rider, Jakub Smrz (Ducati SC Caracchi). Josh Brookes (Alto Evolution Honda) rounds out the current top 15, with his team-mate Karl Muggeridge 12 points behind after a season which has been plagued by injuries for Muggeridge and misfortunes for both riders. SUPERSPORT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP- SOFUOGLU SET TO GET BACK ON TRACK The seemingly inexorable rise-and-rise of Turkish rider Kenan Sofuoglu (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda) was brought to a weather-inspired end at Silverstone, but having scored wins in five previous races his lead is still an impressive 45-points. Second to him is his only real championship concern, Fabien Foret (GIL Kawasaki) some 45 points behind. Katsuaki Fujiwara (Althea Honda) has been trying hard to shed his bad luck from the 2006 season and despite some high profile incidents (mostly the work of other riders) the Japanese star is still third overall. Fourth in another rider with a DNF or two against his name, Robbin Harms (Stiggy Motorsports Honda) and the resurgent GSX-R campaigner, Barry Veneman (Pioneer Hoegee Suzuki) is fifth, showing the strength in depth of entries from various competing factories in 2007. Gianluca Nannelli (Caracchi Ducati SC 749R) is down to ride at Misano, as is a long-time injury worry, Kevin Curtain (Yamaha World SSP Racing). WSS stars in their own right, Sebastien Charpentier (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda) and Broc Parkes (Yamaha WSS Racing), will each be out for their first win of the 2007 season. SUPERSTOCK 1000 FIM CUP – FIVE FROM FIVE IN 2007 A startling competitive 2007 season has seen five riders win races so far, in only five meetings. Niccolo Canepa (Ducati Xerox 1098) got the victory wheels turning first, then Mark Aitchison (Celani Team Suzuki Italia), Michele Pirro (Team Lorenzini by Leoni Yamaha), Matteo Baiocco (Umbria Bike Yamaha) and most recently Brendan Roberts (Ducati Xerox Junior Team) have all pitched in with a win. Aitchison is two points up on Baiocco overall, with Canepa third and Pirro fourth, while the still-injured Roberts (less hampered than in previous rounds by his hand and wrist injuries at a wet Silverstone) is ninth. SUPERSTOCK 600 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP – NO CHANGE Michele Magnoni (Bevilacqua Yamaha) continues in an unchanged leading position after the cancellation of the washed-out Silverstone round, sitting ahead on points from Maxime Berger (Trasimeno Yamaha). Andrea Antonelli (Team Italia Megabike Honda AX) is only a single point from Berger, and is the third of three race winners this year so far. TWO TESTS BECKON BEFORE BRNO HOSTS ROUND NUMBER NINE Test sessions at Brno and Vallelunga will interrupt the traditional July break for the top teams before the highly popular and beautifully sculpted circuit of Brno, set deep in the forests of the Czech republic, hosts the ninth round of the championship, between 20 and 22 July. More, from a press release issued by Team YZF Yamaha: Misano reversed For the beginning of the second half season, the Superbike World Championship riders will use the Santa Monica racetrack in the reversed direction. This kind of situation, which does not happen very often in motorsports, makes it complicated, as the riders have to adapt to it and also find the proper new set up. And a new surface makes even harder! To prepare the “Gran Premio di San Marino e della Riviera di Rimini” that will take place on September 2nd; it has been decided to reverse the direction. Many spectators are expected for this GP as Valentino Rossi’s hometown, Tavullia, is only a few miles away from the circuit. Not many racetracks have been used in the past with reversed direction. One of them is Pocono in the United States that is used counter clockwise for the NASCAR races and clockwise for the WKA (World Karting Association) Enduro series. Another one is Montlhery near Paris, France, “turning right” for the races and left for the manufacturers and press tests. Lausitz tests: Last week, Shinichi Nakatomi tested at the German venue. His times were the same as during the race last year, which shows some progress because he could use the right tyres last year. Martial Garcia (team manager): “Nakatomi’s foot is hurting less, which helped us to fine tune the suspension and the fuel injection. For the Misano race, things are hard to predict as the track is reversed. I hope Nakatomi will do as well as he did last year when he was 13th in Superpole, even if this year he could not do any testing there yet.” Misano May 15 and 16 tests: Troy Bayliss (Ducati) 1:35.3, Troy Corser (Yamaha) 1:35.6, Lorenzo Lanzi (Ducati) 1:35.9, Noriyuki Haga (Yamaha) 1:36.6, Ruben Xaus (Ducati) 1:36.8, Fonsi Nieto (Kawasaki) 1:36.9, Regis Laconi (Kawasaki) 1:37.1, Michel Fabrizio (Honda) 1:38.2, Marco Borciani (Ducati) 1:39.0, Mauro Sanchini (Kawasaki) 1:39.0 The Santa Monica circuit: Designed in 1969, Misano was opened in 1972. The circuit’s length was 3488 meters at the time. In 1993, it was increased to 4060 meters (2.52 miles) while track width was increased to 12 meters so that Misano could be homologated by the FIM. In 1997, the circuit infrastructures were revamped to boost its international status and appeal. Misano’s excellent location (the track is 4kms away from Riccione, 15 from Rimini and 130 from Bologna) means that both Grand Prix and World Superbike events have been held there and it is often used as a test track. World Championship standings: 1-Toseland (Honda) 237 points, 2-Haga (Yamaha) 214, 3-Biaggi (Suzuki) 201, 4-Bayliss (Ducati) 189, 5-Corser (Yamaha) 151…17-Nakatomi (Yamaha) 22 9th round of the Superbike World Championship: July 22nd at Brno (Czech Republic)

New contingency dollars brings top-level competition to Miller Motorsports Park round three of the Masters of the Mountains series. Tooele County, UT — Round three of the 2007 Honda Presents the Plaza Cycle Masters of the Mountains race series at Miller Motorsports Park saw top-level competition from the entire field of more than 110 racers. The King of the Mountain GTO class produced some of the most exciting racing seen to date at the new Miller Motorsports Park. Chad Lewin, Jason Perez and MoM #1 plate-holder Aaron Clark diced the entire 14 laps within half-a-second of each other, trading places more than 20 times. On lap 12, Perez made his move and passed Lewin, bringing Clark with him into second. On the final lap, Clark got a strong drive out of the Tooele turn, drafting Perez and carrying too much speed into Clubhouse, with Clark running wide and into the dirt. Lewin took advantage of Clark’s mistake, taking second position to the flag with Clark re-entering the track to hold on to third. The success of the new MoM series is showcased by strong races in the Novice and Amateur classes, with youngster Shane McGoey sweeping all four GTU and GTO classes.

WERA National Series Back in Action at Miller Motorsports Park TOOELE, Utah With no forest fires to stop them this time, the WERA National Series will be back on track this weekend for round three at Utah’s Miller Motorsports Park. The Western round of the series will feature the WERA/Bridgestone National Endurance Series and the WERA/Michelin National Challenge Series, as well as the WERA West Pirelli Sportsman Series. The series had a longer than expected break between rounds, with the forest fires in North Florida forcing the postponement of Jennings GP, which was originally scheduled as round three. That race has now been moved to the weekend of September 28-30, and racers are heading to the desert of Utah instead. After practice and qualifying on Friday, the racing gets started on Saturday, June 16 with the six-hour National Endurance Series event, which gets the green flag at 11:30 a.m. Vesrah Suzuki would like to make their win record three for three this season, but they can expect to face stiff competition from the local teams again this year. During last season’s endurance round at Miller, Rave Yamaha proved they had the home track advantage with an overall win. With five classes competing in the endurance series, there will be plenty of opportunities for local teams to claim victory during Saturday’s long race. Sunday will feature the National Challenge Series sprint races, and racers will have just four laps around the long Miller track to get to the front. Like the endurance series, WERA West racers dominated the sprints last year. In fact, local racers accounted for half of the wins during last year’s inaugural event at Miller. In the expert ranks, Clint McBain, Robert Jensen and Lee Acree will be some of the top names to watch. Up-and-comer McBain has been racing elbow-to-elbow with the veterans of the sport this season, and the three competitors had some hard-fought battles during round two at Barber Motorsports Park. Spectator tickets for the WERA National Series at Miller Motorsports Park are just $10 per day. Riders and crew pay $30 for the entire three days, or $20 for Saturday and Sunday. Directions to Miller and more information about the track can be found online at www.MillerMotorsportsPark.com.

IRISH RIDERS AIMING FOR HOME SUPERBIKE GLORY The Bennetts British Superbike Championship’s return to Mondello Park will be greeted even more enthusiastically than previously by local spectators who are expected to flock to the circuit in even greater numbers than normal to follow the fortunes of the local riders aiming for glory. The only overseas round of BSB, which is the top motor racing championship in the British Isles, comes to Mondello this weekend (June 15th-17th), with the support of Failte Ireland the Irish National Tourism Development Authority. This year Irish spectators will have more than just a regular British Superbike round to look forward to with so much interest centering on local riders and particularly rising Northern Irish star Jonathan Rea. Coming off the back of his first major victory at the Suzuka 300KM race in Japan and buoyed by the news that he will make a sensational MotoGP debut at Donington Park the following weekend, Rea will be looking to translate his excellent form into his first ever BSB victory at his home race. Another major attraction will be a demonstration run by an ex Loris Capirossi MotoGP Ducati, which represents the first opportunity for Irish fans to catch the incredible sight and sound of a Grand Prix machine on home soil. The MotoGP demo will take place on Sunday in between the two BSB races and should electrify the expected large crowd if it’s previous demonstration runs at UK circuits are anything to go by. Sunday’s race day will see the two BSB races supported by races for Supersport, Superstock and 125cc GP classes. Both Superbikes and Superstock are split into two divisions and in each division there are strong local contenders. Alongside Rea in the main Superbike class, Ulsterman Marty Nutt and Dublin’s Paul Barron will start among the favourites to take a win in the Privateer Cup, which is contested by the best up and coming riders. Elsewhere the Supersport championship is currently led by Northern Irish team TAS Suzuki who hold both first and second places with Ulster riders Michael Laverty and Ian Lowry. In the Supersport Privateers Cup Dublin’s Jack Kennedy is aiming to make his return following a leg breaking accident just five weeks ago. The teenager has already tasted class victory this season and is preparing to ride through the pain barrier in order to repeat the feat on home soil while also aiming for a top ten position overall. The two Superstock races for near standard road bikes and a single 125cc race round out the race day programme and both have a healthy dose of local contenders, either racing full time in the series or taking wild card spaces for their home event. Tickets for the Bennetts British Superbike Championship supported by Failte Ireland are still available through the circuit’s ticket agent www.ticketlord.com. Further information is also available on the BSB section of the Mondello Park web site.
