Successful Skerries meeting for KMR Kawasaki

by isleofman.com 10th July 2013

The KMR Kawasaki team were back in action for the first time since the Isle of Man TT races on Saturday with both Jamie Hamilton and Connor Behan enjoying some excellent results at the Skerries 100 road races.
 
With superb weather at the 2.92-mile venue, Hamilton's excellent 2013 form continued and he was never out of the top six in any of his four races, going on to take another win in the Supertwins class. In the two 1000cc races he was never far away from a podium position finishing fifth in both the Open race and the Grand Final just 2.2s and 2.5s adrift of third place respectively. He completed a strong day with a fine sixth in the Supersport 600cc race.
 
Team-mate Behan was making his debut at the circuit, situated on the outskirts of Dublin, and his best result came on the 636cc Kawasaki when he finished in second place, just 0.115s off the win, in the Senior Support Championship. Riding the 650cc ER6 Kawasaki, he also took third in the Junior Support Championship race and the results was good enough to move him to the top of the Championship table.
 
Speaking afterwards, a delighted team owner Ryan Farquhar said: "I couldn't be happier with how the day went and I'm really pleased with the results of both riders. Jamie is doing everything we want him to do and by going out and finishing all of his races, he's learning so much and getting the results he deserves. Connor is doing a similar job too and he's really showing his aptitude for the roads. he's learning the circuits quickly and putting in fine performances on both machines. With Jamie maintaining his 100% record in the Supertwins Championship and Connor now leading the Junior Support class, it's been an excellent day for KMR Kawasaki."
 
The team have headed straight to the Isle of Man, where there'll be joined by third rider James Cowton for the annual Southern 100 road races.
