Dickies British SupersportIt was a weekend of highs and lows for the Gearlink Kawasaki team at round two of the Dickies British Supersport Championship at Oulton Park over the Bank Holiday weekend. Luke Hedger managed to secure a solid fifth place in race one and gained a fantastic podium with second place in race two. Mason Law had another troublesome weekend and was eighth in race one and was forced to pull out of race two with a technical problem.Luke worked hard throughout the practice sessions to find a suitable base setting on the Kawasaki ZX-6R. Everything fell into place for qualifying and he managed to end up in fourth place for the opening Sprint race on Saturday. Luke had a bad start in race one and dropped back to seventh place on lap one but he soon settled into a rhythm and started to work his way back up through the pack. He got into fifth place when the race was red flagged on lap ten.He was placed fifth on the grid for race two and got a fantastic start and was up to third when the safety car was deployed on the opening lap to clear debris from an accident. The race got underway again on lap four and Luke worked his way through to second and was locked in a battle with Tarran Mackenzie. Both riders were being hunted down by James Westmoreland. Luke and James were battling with each other for the final podium position, when Tarran crashed out on lap 11 due to rain and the race was red flagged. Luke secured a brilliant second place for the Gearlink Kawasaki team.Mason Law really struggled throughout the weekend at Oulton Park and found it hard to find a set-up he was happy with on his Gearlink Kawasaki. They changed several aspects on the bike over the three days to try and help Mason progress with his times. He ended up qualifying in 13th place for the Sprint race on Saturday. He worked extremely hard over the race to work his way through the field and he managed to bring home eighth position.In morning warm-up Mason had a big crash at Shell corner and was taken to the medical centre to be assessed, where he was declared ok and fit to ride. He moved a row forward for race two and started from 12th position. Despite feeling sore Mason gave it his best shot and was in ninth position when he was forced to retire with a technical problem.Luke Hedger - "I'm really happy about this weekend and to finally get the ball rolling. I had a disaster at Silverstone and it's really good to be back on the podium. Saturday was a tough day but we finally managed to get the bike working well for qualifying and I managed to have two really good races.In the second race I could see the rain coming in over the hill and was hoping it wouldn't catch us out. I wanted to fight hard for a podium and thought the red flag was for Taz but it was for the rain. It's great to be back up on the podium and hope it will continue for the rest of the season.I have to say a big thank you to SRS, my personal sponsors and friends and family."

Mason Law - "It was a really tough weekend to be honest; we had a few problems with the bike and set-up. The crash was pretty big in morning warm-up, I just want to move on from this weekend and come back stronger at Brands Hatch towards the end of May. It was tough this weekend for myself and the team, we need to put it down as experience, move on and build a better package for the next round."

MCE British SuperbikeIn the MCE British Superbike series, the Gearlink Kawasaki rider, Italian Vittorio Iannuzzo had a mixed weekend and sustained a crash in the opening race and was able to finish in a strong 18th position in race two. The first time he rode at Oulton Park was the test the week prior to the race and he has never raced there especially in the weather conditions that were present over the weekend.Vittorio Iannuzzo - "It has been a crazy weekend. Oulton Park is a new track for me, we had mad weather over the weekend and every session was different.Everything was very difficult to learn in such a short period of time here, the track is very hard to learn and with the mixed weather it made track time very limited. In the end I am happy that we managed to finish race two and we have made some good steps forward here.I want to thank to all the Gearlink Kawasaki team because they worked so hard to fix my bike after the crash in race one and they gave me the chance to go back out and finish the second race. I hope at Brands our season will begin properly."Team Manager Michael de Bidaph - "It was another really tough weekend for the Gearlink Kawasaki team. We are really pleased that Luke was able to salvage something and secure us a podium from his race today.It was a hard weekend with the conditions but with Vittorio and Mason both suffering crashes, it is something we never want to see.It was good for Luke to get two good finishes this weekend as he had a tough time at Silverstone and great for him to have gained a podium for the team.It was unfortunate for Mason with his crash and the technical problem, we hope to have everything fixed and sorted out for Brands Hatch.Vittorio once again worked really hard with the Superbike and made a lot of progress on a track he has never raced at before. He never gives up and it is a real credit to him, we hope we can improve and continue with him for the remainder of the season."
