ROBERTS LEADS GSX-R CUP QUALIFYING
 Australian
‘wild card’ rider Brendan Roberts finished on
top at the end of the first qualifying for this weekend’s
Suzuki GSX- R European Cup third round at Silverstone.
Roberts, who is leading the British Superstock 1000 championship,
adapted to his GSX-R750 Suzuki almost straight away and finished
ahead of series leader Xavier Simeon. Third quickest today
was another ‘wild card’ Tommy Bridewell, with
Magnus Houston fourth.
Brendan Roberts - 1st, 1:31.57:
"It took me a little while to get used to the bike,
but once I did I felt pretty comfortable. It’s a great
pleasure to be racing at an International event like this
and being seen by so many people. I had a little suspension
problem today, but that was about it. I’m looking forward
to the rest of the weekend."
Friday GSX-R Cup Qualifying: 1 B Roberts, 2 X Simeon, 3 T
Bridewell, 4 M Houston, 5 R Barber, 6 S Castellani.
