Cooper & Buildbase Suzuki GSX-R1000 win at Snetterton
Richard Cooper – SST Class – 1st
Bradley Ray – #BSB – 13-13th
Luke Stapleford – #BSB – DNF-13th
Buildbase Suzuki’s Richard Cooper extended his points lead in the National Superstock 1000 Championship, winning at Snetterton on his GSX-R1000R yesterday, as the season passes the halfway point.
Cooper topped every session over the weekend, including setting pole position in qualifying by a whole second. He went on to win the 12-lap race by two and a half seconds, and now holds a 42.5-point advantage in the championship standings.
Richard Cooper:
“We can’t be anything other than happy with the weekend; topping every session, taking the win, and more importantly extending the championship lead. We’re in a really good place with the bike, to the point I pretty much just get on it and ride it in each session, and the team did another brilliant job this weekend. I’m really enjoying my #racing and hopefully it continues now for the second half of the season.”
In the two Bennetts British Superbike Championship races, Bradley Ray came away with a brace of 13th place finishes after a tricky weekend in Norfolk, while Luke Stapleford unfortunately suffered a crash in race one. He climbed into the points in race two to finish 15th.
Bradley Ray:
“It didn’t quite come together this weekend as we’d hoped. We were just struggling to find the missing piece of the puzzle to give us the speed to challenge in the top-10. It’s a shame, but we’re still feeling positive after some of the progress we’ve made in recent rounds and will hopefully pick up from that point at Thruxton.”
Luke Stapleford:
“Naturally I’m disappointed with the weekend. We were hoping for more and it was a tough one. We struggled to get comfortable and then we had the crash and it compounded the problems a bit for us. But as always, everyone’s working hard and hopefully we’ll be able to bounce back at the next round.”
