McAdoo Kawasaki Racing’s Conor Cummins finished third fastest overall in Monday evening’s TT practice session. ‘Conrod’ lapped at 126.167mph on the McAdoo Ninja ZX-10R Kawasaki and then went out on his McAdoo Ninja ZX-6R Supersport bike for the first time.
After practice Conor seemed satisfied:
"I'm reasonably happy with tonight's practice. The ZX-10R Kawasaki Superbike felt really strong. Although I wasn't pushing hard, I'm pleased to be third fastest, especially since I need to make a few set-up changes, including the gearing and forks. I hope to try another version of the Pirelli slicks too, so there's plenty to come.
McAdoo Kawasaki Racing’s Conor Cummins had a frustrating time at the 2009 North West 200, but still
managed to prove his potential at the very highest level of pure road racing. Red flags, terrible weather
conditions and problems in practice meant Conor was up against it on race day.
Conor managed to qualify on the third row for both the Superbike and 1000cc Superstock races on the
McAdoo Ninja ZX-10R Kawasakis, but a technical problem on Tuesday night, followed by Thursday’s
cancellation of the second 600cc session, meant the Ramsey Rocket had to start from the very back of
the grid for the Supersport race, on row 9.
McAdoo Kawasaki Racing’s Conor Cummins will get the 2009 road racing season underway this weekend at the Cookstown 100 road races. The team is based on the actual Cookstown circuit so the travel costs will be light!
