CEV Buckler National Spanish Championship & ZX10R
Now the 2011 National Superstock 1000 championship has come to an end I can now concentrate on a new challenge! I am pleased to announce that I will be riding in the final two rounds of the CEV Buckler Stock Extreme championship on a 2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R.
The CEV Buckler championship is the premier motorcycle championship in Spain and the Stock Extreme class is there equivalent of Superbike. The bikes are restricted to European Superstock specification with the allowance of an open choice of slick tyres. The riders at the front of the championship are very competitive and there are a number of factory backed teams. The main Stock Extreme championship includes a privateer’s cup for teams without factory support.
The final two rounds will be held at Valencia on 13th November and Jerez a week later on 20th November, both of which are awesome circuits. I will have to learn the circuits quickly during practice although I have ridden at Valencia in 2006 as part of the Red Bull Rookies MotoGP selection programme.
The ZX-10R I will race has been prepared to the full Stock Extreme specification except for the engine work permitted. When I last rode the bike at Silverstone I had my first opportunity to test the Dunlop slicks. Instantly they performed better and I improved my times significantly. Throughout the day we made set-up changes to the bike to make it more stable due to the angular profile of the tyres and larger diameter rear tyre. We made progress but there is more to come and I hope to find a good setting in order to maximise the potential of the ZX10R and the slicks in practice for Valencia and Jerez.
For the two CEV rounds I am teaming up with the Quelch PGS Racing team who currently run Sam Coventry on a Honda CBR1000 in the championship. I am looking forward to racing with them and adding to the British contingent amongst a field of mainly Spanish and French riders.
I am looking forward to this opportunity and am working hard to make the most of it. I would like to thank everyone who has helped to make this happen and hopefully I can make it all worthwhile with two good results.
