GBmoto Kawasaki's Chris Walker continued to go from strength to strength in the MCE British Superbike two day test at Snetterton, so much so he ended the final day third fastest overall. Reflecting on the sessions he’s just pleased that he experienced no major problems out on the 300 circuit.

The veteran racer has had a busy couple of weeks – from six days of testing in Spain at the Cartagena and Almeria circuits, to Donington last week. But all the information gathered from previous tests meant the team were able to bring a revised package to Snetterton.

This allowed both Walker and his new team-mate James Ellison to continue the essential set-up of their brand new Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R machines, working on changing suspension, chassis balance and electronics to find a comfortable base setting and achieve good times towards the end of the final session.

The team now head back to the workshop where they will further refine the ZX-10R machine ahead of the opening round of the British Superbike championship at Brands Hatch next weekend. But Walker is happy that he saved his best lap until last, finishing the test with a solid 1’48.931 lap in the final session.

“I’m really happy with that. Testing is testing and Brands will be different but to have achieved these times round here in the short space of time we’ve all been working together is impressive,” said Walker.

“I’ve run on a couple of times but other than that it’s been ‘trauma free testing’ all the way through and I can honestly say James and myself have worked through a lot of changes that have helped us both. Overall I’m really excited to get racing now.”
