RICHARD KERR had a mixed bag of results at round 10 of the British Superbike Championships at Donington Park at the weekend.
The 16-year-old Lilmacrennan student qualified in 5th position and followed that up with a tremendous third place in race 1, several seconds behind the leaders.
This was Kerr’s second podium of the season on the NW Racing KTM machine and every race is still a learning curve for Richard as he still hasn’t found the set-up he wants.

Race 2 on Sunday and Kerr got another great start and was in fourth position after the first three laps but was lapping nearly two seconds slower than Saturday’s times as the bike had some front end handling issues.
Dutch rider Jorel Borebome caught Kerr on lap 7 and the two battled for a couple of laps but Kerr came off the KTM, exiting the foggy esses, unhurt but showed how dissapointed he was when he got back on his feet.

Not the end to the weekend the team where hoping for but they can now turn their attention to the next round in Holland in two weeks’ time where Kerr again will be giving it 100 per cent to try to get the new machine where he wants it.
