Parkalgar Honda returns to the action

PARKALGAR HONDA’S Miguel Praia will return to the race action at Donington Park this weekend for round 10 of the World Supersport Championship following a four week break in the calendar.
The Portuguese rider gained valuable experience of the flowing 2.5-mile GP circuit when he and his Parkalgar Honda team took part in the fourth round of the British Supersport Championship earlier this year. Praia finished in a superb third place and his team left the circuit with some useful data ahead of this weekend’s Championship round.

Praia will be the sole Parkalgar Honda rider this weekend at what would have been his late team-mate Craig Jones’s second home round. A tribute will be paid to Craig on race day.

First qualifying takes place on Friday 5th September, with second qualifying on Saturday 6th September. The World Supersport race takes place on Sunday 7th September at 1320, and will be shown live on British Eurosport or it can be watched online at www.worldsbk.com.

Simon Buckmaster, Team Manager Parkalgar Honda: "It is not going to be easy this weekend but Miguel and the team will concentrate on doing the best job that they can and achieving the best result possible.

"The tribute to Craig we feel is fitting for a great, well loved and respected rider. It’s also an opportunity for the World Superbike paddock and the race fans to say ‘Goodbye’ to Craig. It is a big loss to the team but we will be putting 100 per cent effort behind Miguel this weekend and I know that our professionalism as a team will move us forward as Craig would have wanted."
