Donington WSBK: Kennedy claims best Supersport result of his career

Rivamoto Honda's Jack Kennedy claimed his best ever World Supersport result this weekend at Donington Park, but was still left feeling he could have done more, with arm-pump issues preventing him from pushing on during the race.

"It's my best result so far, I had a good battle and it wasn't a lonely race. I enjoyed it out there. It was hard to hold on at the end, the arm pump really got to me. It prevented me from having a go on the last lap, something I would have liked to do. A great weekend for us really though with a good qualifying, good result and a lot better than Monza," said the Dubliner, speaking to bikesportnews.com from the sun drenched circuit.

"It was a great job by the team, the Rivamoto Honda was working really well. I was trying to dig in and go when Kenan came past me, but at the same time I didn't want to destroy the rear tyre. I could feel the arm pump half way through the race getting worse and worse, so I knew if I pushed and tried to go mid-race it was really going to affect me at the end of the race. I was almost trying to preserve my arms as well as the tyres."
