There is nothing like a challenge and that is what Hudson Kennaugh has on his hands this weekend at Magny Cours in France. Not only is he finding his feet in the Supersport class with the Moto-1 Suzuki squad, but he has the GSX-R Cup title at stake as well.
In Supersport, Kennaugh qualified in eighteenth place and in the GSX-R Cup he was second fastest it. Plenty of track time as he tells us “I had two sessions on track for the World Supersport and one for the GSX-R Cup. I’m top eighteen in the Supersport and I’m lying second in the GSX-R Cup. Tomorrow I’m looking for more speed on the Supersport machine, today has lead me to believe that I need some set up changes. We are starting to go somewhere now and it’s better than Imola, I’m six positions up from where I was then. I’m pretty happy with the Cup as well but we have a bit of a saga unfolding with the Cup.”
The situation with the Cup is very interesting as the top three riders are all very close, so a decision has been taken by the organisers that whoever wins on Sunday takes the title. So after a season long Championship battle, it all comes down to one race. “There are nine points between the top three, five between me and first and four points back to third. The decision has been made that whoever wins on Sunday, whether is it a tie or not, will be the winner of the championship. So it all boils down to a one off race, all or nothing balls out!” grinned Hudson.
The pace in the GSX-R Cup has hotted up for the grand finale “The under dog (David Salon who is third in the Championship) has come up and put it on pole for now and we are matching the top Supersport times, he’d be sixteenth and I’d be seventeenth and that is better than I’m doing on the Supersport machine, and I’m on a standard 750cc. We really are going on those bikes, the level is very high amongst the top five or six and it is all coming down to Sunday. I’m hoping for a good day tomorrow, and more track time with Supersport practice.”
On the Supersport front Kennaugh reckons it is going to be tough “It’s going to be elbow to elbow stuff, it’s going to be crazy into the hairpin you can imagine its carnage. I had Yamaha stickers on my Suzuki after three corners at Imola. Every track is different and the Suzukis seem to be good round here, it’s a Suzuki track where as Imola wasn’t. Tomorrow I need to find a second in Supersport, that is down to me and my confidence coming up, after that it is going to be difficult. GSX-R Cup, its all to play for can’t make any mistakes thirteen laps on Sunday, all or nothing.”
