The co-ordit team was back in the British Superbikes once again with Richard Cooper on the Co-ordit Performance Yamaha R1 superbike to contest in the Cup championship as we did at Mallory earlier on in the year with a front row start. Having qualified on the 4th row and top cup rider it was all to do in the race as the times between all the riders laps where very close. A good start was cancelled out as Walker made contact on the second corner to push Richard wide losing 5 places. Richard was now back in the mix of the cup contenders and just missed out on a podium finishing 4th.

The best was saved to last as it was decided to withdraw Richard from the second superbike race to concentrate on the superstock championship and getting the third place back from McGuiness. The superstock races have proved to be the best racing for the spectators all year and this one went the same way. There was obviously no team orders with the Padgett riders of Brogan and Mcguiness as they battled for first position in a leading pack of 4 with Adam Jenkinson and Cooper hard on their heels waiting to pounce. It was a mistake by Brogan running into the back of McGuiness and crashing out that allowed Jenkinson and Cooper through. Jenkinson made off and it was down to Cooper and McGuiness for the remaining podium places. Cooper rode the wheels off the Yamaha but the pace of the honda gave McGuiness the edge to get the second place ahead of Cooper across the line. Another well deserved podium for Richard and the second and third positions of the championship will now be decided at the last round at Oulton Park.
