StoneBaker riders return to BSB
09-08-2008
Two StoneBaker-connected riders have made an unexpected return to British racing at Knockhill this weekend.
Dan Linfoot is standing in for Centurion Racing's Daniel Cooper in the main British Supersport championship after the Stroud-based rider injured himself during free practice on Friday. Former StoneBaker rider Pat McDougall is also in attendance, undertaking a one-off ride in the British Supersport Cup series with the Irish MFC team.
Both men are Honda-mounted for the weekend. At the end of two very wet qualifying sessions on Saturday, Dan stands in 11th place on a time of 55.428 seconds around the 1.3-mile Scottish circuit. Pat recorded a fastest lap of 56.695 seconds which saw him finish 27th overall and sixth in terms of the Cup entrants.
Linfoot and McDougall have both reported themselves as being happy with their new machines and looking forwards to tomorrow's 27-lap race.

The great race at the new Portimao circuit brings an end to our season in World Superbike Superstock 600, with riders Gino Rea and Dan Linfoot.
The season has been a success with Gino third and Dan fifth in the championship standings following three victories and five additional podiums in total. The results have also acted as a stepping stone to the riders for next season, with both securing high profile, career progressing rides for 2009.
Thank you for all of the emails, calls, texts and visits throughout the year. It has been much appreciated.
