From a press release:

MONSTERMOB DUCATI BRITISH SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM

Round 5
2002 MCN British Superbike Championship
Snetterton – June 2/3rd

HIZZY AND EASTON AIM HIGH FOR SNETTERTON

Round five of the 2002 MCN British Championship heads for Norfolk this weekend and the wide open expanses of the Snetterton circuit whereby championship leader Steve Hislop aims to get back to winning ways.

The MonsterMob Ducati rider leads the series by 34 points after winning four of the eight races to date and is hoping to put last weekend’s disappointment of two non-finishes at Silverstone World Superbikes behind him as he concentrates on the job in hand.

“I was glad to get away from Silverstone as I had it all to lose and very little to gain but I’m hoping for a major points haul this weekend. I was gutted when John Reynolds beat me there in both races last year and I’m determined not to let that be the case again but the 1000cc four cylinder machines will be a force as will the other Ducatis” said the 40 year old Scot.

Meanwhile, team mate Stuart Easton will also be hoping for better luck than at Silverstone as he aims to increase his advantage at the top of the Supersport championship which he leads by 37 points after winning the last four races on the belt.

The 17-year-old from Hawick crashed out of the world round last weekend in torrential rain but is confident of making it unprecedented five consecutive wins at Snetterton aboard the 748 MonsterMob Ducati

“The main aim this weekend is to maintain or ideally increase the series points lead and the bike will suit the circuit. Last weekend was just a blip and the result didn’t really matter but I’m deadly serious about performing well at Snetterton” said Easton.

For Team Owner Paul Bird, the weekend will be a hectic one as he shuttles to and forth from the Isle of Man whereby he’s overseeing Honda’s TT effort but he’s hoping for normal service to be resumed at the Norfolk circuit:

“Last weekend at Silverstone is best forgotten about and we’re here to concentrate on the British Championship which is what Steve and Stuart are both totally focussed on. It will be tough all round but I’m confident we can come away with a string of good results” said the Penrith businessman.
