Strong weekend at Donington for Quattro Plant Kawasaki

The Quattro Plant Kawasaki team enjoyed an excellent day's racing at Donington Park on Sunday with Chris Walker securing a pair of top ten finishes at round 9 of the 2013 MCE British Superbike Championship.

With bad weather on Friday, the team didn’t take to the track until Saturday but qualifying again went well for Chris and he lined up in a solid seventh place on the grid for the opening 20-lap race, a strong start seeing him immediately jump up the order into sixth. Here he remained until lap five when Jon Kirkham pushed him back to seventh and this was where he finished, successfully seeing off the challenge of Jakub Smrz. The second race saw Chris battling with the same riders, as well as PJ Jacobsen and he made it four top ten finishes in a row with a fine eighth place.

The weekend’s results mean Chris missed out on one of the top six Showdown spots but, lying in ninth overall, he will now focus his efforts on the Riders Cup of which he has a great chance of securing.

Pete Extance, Team Manager: “It was a great weekend for Quattro Plant Kawasaki with both bikes in the top ten in race one and Chris again being extremely consistent all weekend. Well done to all the team this weekend!”

The tenth round sees the series cross the Channel, visiting Assen, Holland on September 21-22.
