JENTIN RACING-BMW MOTORRAD STAR AT BRITISH MOTOGP WEEKEND

17/06/2010

Cooper will take part in two races over the next three days with practice tomorrow and a race on both Saturday and Sunday - the latter following the Blue Riband MotoGP event. It is a big opportunity for the Nottingham youngster to shine in front of the expected 100,000 fans at the Northamptonshire circuit.  

Jentin Racing-BMW Motorrad racer Richard Cooper said: "I can't wait for Silverstone. We were testing there last week and the new circuit is fantastic. We had a good run out, we were nice and steady at the start and gradually built up the pace as I learned the new secions of the circuit. We've got a good basic setup and the bike suits the fast nature of the track, so I'm confident I can get myself up with the rest of the BMWs at the front of the pack."  

"It's not every day you get to share the paddock with MotoGP so it makes the prospect of two races in front of what will be our biggest crowd of the season even more exciting. There's also a lot more competition than usual as a few of the top BSB boys are joining us for these support races. It means there are some big scalps to be had! It's going to be awesome." 

 Cooper will be on track tomorrow (Friday) for practice and qualifying. His first race on Saturday is at 4.25pm just after Moto2 qualifying and the second race on Sunday is at 3.30pm, following the 125cc Grand Prix.
