TOUGH LAST DAY AT THE OFFICE FOR PSG-1 KAWASAKI CORSE RIDERS
A hard weekend in general delivered little in the way of success for two of PSG-1 Kawasaki Corse's riders, with the single best result being a sixth, despite high hopes for all when raceday dawned dry and often sunny. In race one Chris Walker (PSG-1 Kawasaki Corse) scored sixth place, with Regis Laconi (PSG-1 Kawasaki Corse) ninth. Fonsi Nieto (PSG-1 Kawasaki Corse) fell as he battled inside the top six, In the second race, Walker was a fighting eighth, Nieto a technical retiree and Laconi only 18th, after running on and having to restart at the very back of the field.

CHRIS WALKER: 6th & 8th - 158 Points, 9th Overall: “The second race was much better, it was just that more riders fell off in race one. I got past Kagayama and held him off all race. We were never going to win the world championship this year, but I set myself two goals - to finish top Kawasaki rider and win at least one race. I did both, so I'm pretty happy.”

FONSI NIETO: DNF & DNF - 139 Points, 10th Overall: “In the first race the rear brake was not working like I needed it to and that made me run on after touching Kagayama. Then, in the second race, the chain was jumping the sprockets, so I pulled in to retire.”

REGIS LACONI: 9th & 18th - 103 Points, 15th Overall: “In the second race I was behind Gimbert and I could not find a way past him, and then I tried again two or three times in the small hairpin. I braked late and I don't know if anyone else saw it, but I ran on and must have missed Chris by about a millimetre. I had a lot of chattering in the second race from my rear tyre so I came into change it. I need to start races closer to the front but it is my mistake. I need to qualify better.”

Can some one please explain to me why they are dumping Chris Walker and keeping the other two riders? Walker is the only one who looked like doing something during the year.

Actually Fons Usually was outqualified by & outraced Walker up till Walkers Win in the wet.

As for Laconni he did "Fugg al"l & Walker should have been kept over him imho,
