Hawk Gearing Up for Silverstone
Press Release: 13th September 2006
The three Hawk Kawasaki riders are heading to the
penultimate round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship this
weekend at Silverstone Circuit, 15th 17th. Dean Thomas, Craig
Coxhell and Peter Hickman are eager to get some good results on board
the Dunlop-shod Kawasaki ZX10s.
The season is reaching the point now where it has become an ultimate
scrap for overall Championship positions. With double points being
awarded at the final round at Brands Hatch in two weeks time,
everything is still to play for.
Senior member of the team Dean Thomas commented "Its been a difficult
season for me especially with the injuries I sustained in the crash
with James (Haydon) at Snetterton. Im still not feeling 100% but
every week I am feeling stronger and getting back to myself. I got two
reasonable results at Silverstone last year so I hope I will be able
to do similar or better this year."
23-year-old Craig Coxhell said "I had a nightmare weekend at Cadwell
Park a few weeks ago and looking to put that in the past and move on
this weekend. Everything that could go wrong at Cadwell did, its
certainly not my favourite circuit! Silverstone, thankfully is one of
the few tracks in the UK that I know my way round quite well, as I
rode on it when I was competing in the European Superstocks last
season. I just need to ensure that I get a good qualifying session
under my belt to enable me to get some strong results in the races."
Rookie rider Peter Hickman is eager to get to Silverstone saying
"Every time I go out on the bike I feel a little bit more confident
and that is showing in my results. Its been a steady year and a very
steep learning curve but I have managed to get a number a healthy
results in the bag which gives me a bit of a boost. Im enjoying my
time on a Superbike and want to make sure I get my head down in the
final two rounds and get four decent finishes."
