MCE British Superbikes at Snetterton

The Buildbase Kawasaki riders battled hard through a tough weekend at Snetterton circuit.
 
John Laverty, looking to maintain his top six championship position, entered the 3 race weekend in a confident frame of mind.  A strong qualifying performance put John into qualifying 3 and 10th place.  Race 1 on Saturday evening saw John battling with a freight train of riders for a top seven placing; however a few setup problems forced John to bring the bike home in 12th place.  Race 2 and with a lot of hard work done throughout the night by the team John was again involved in a 5 rider battle and took 10th place at the finish.  Unfortunately this was not the position desired but John was much happier with the setting and positive about race 3, as were the team who were certain of an improved result.  John rose to the challenge with a fine ride coming home in 5th place and maintaining the all important 6th place in the series.
 
Adam Jenkinson came to Snetterton hoping to regain his early season form after difficult rounds at Mallory Park and Knockhill.  In race 1 Adam started in 21st due to the Knockhill re-run but went on to set his fastest lap of the weekend and 19th position.  In race 2 Adam was pushing hard, but sadly a small crash at the Esses bought his race to a premature end.  Race 3 and a solid performance saw Adam bring his machine home in 16th place.  With this race under his belt Adam will look to build upon these results at Brands Hatch and strive towards top ten results.
