Magical Macau GP for Amor with 600cc win394 giorni fa
 
Falkirk's Keith Amor wrapped up his highly successful season on Saturday with a superb victory in the 600cc class of the Macau Grand Prix. Riding the AIM Racing R6 Yamaha, the Scottish ace fought his way through the pack after being delayed on the opening lap by a crash and eventually took the win by a convincing 25 seconds to claim his first ever International race win.

Opening qualifying on Thursday afternoon saw Keith slot into 2nd place in the 600cc division, and 18th overall, just over a second behind the pace setting German rider Rico Penkofer. However, with cooler conditions in Friday morning's session, which got underway briskly at 7.30am, almost all of the field went considerably quicker. Sure enough, Keith took over 2 seconds off his time and a best lap of 2m31.969s around the 3.8-mile Guia circuit saw him top the class although it was very close with Penzkofer just 0.081s behind.

Unfortunately, the much anticipated dice between the two Yamahas ended on the opening lap of the 15-lap race, held in sweltering conditions, when Penzkofer and Dan Linfoot, third in qualifying, crashed out at Lisboa Corner and Keith got held up considerably in the ensuing melee. Having dropped close to the back of the field, he re-grouped and gradually began to claw back the advantage of new rivals Gerard Muteau and Joao Fernandes. With a series of fastest laps, Keith soon overhauled his fellow 600cc competitors, promptly disappearing into the distance for an excellent win and he was also able to claim an equally excellent 11th place overall.

Speaking later after a well earned drink, Keith commented:

"I had a feeling it was going to be a bit tricky going in to the first corner so I hung back a wee bit to stay out of trouble and, although I got held up by the crash, it paid dividends. I think I was 4th from last by the time I got going again and my first pit board said 'P3 -8' so I knew I had to get my head down. I knew Dan had gone down but not Rico but I started to see bikes in front of me and was able to reel them in and once I'd got the lead of the class I was able to pull away. I'd asked the lads to just show me where I was lying in the 600cc race and and it was a nice feeling seeing my board saying '+10, +14, +18'"

"It was a shame Rico and Dan went out so early but that's racing I guess. It was a hard race with the heat being so high but the bike was an absolute missile and the team worked so hard, giving me a great bike. I'd over-revved the engine in practice so I had to make a few changes to the settings on the bike but it all worked perfectly and I really enjoyed myself this week. I've got to say a big thank you to Alastair Flanagan for giving me the opportunity this week and to everyone at AIM Racing and Dunlop for all their support."

Macau - Scottish Victories401 giorni fa
 
Stuart Easton, the 25-year-old Scottish racer took his first ever Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix victory today to deny six-times winner Michael Rutter a record-breaking seventh success.

It looked as though Rutter, on the Discover Ireland NW200 Ducati 1200, was going to be handed first place when two of the fancied front-runners went out with mechanical problems.

First Australian Cameron Donald (Relentless Suzuki by TAS) was forced to stop on lap five with a mechanical problem after dramatically taking the lead on the opening lap from Rutter.

That left Easton (Doosan Honda) in the lead by almost three seconds from Rutter, and pulling away.

Then Conor Cummins, the 22-year-old Manxman, who had broken the qualifying lap record to take pole position on the grid for the 15-lap race, suffered a mechanical breakdown on lap eight when looking as if he might prove a threat to the two men ahead of him.

With him out, Rutter realised he was now closing on the 25-year-old Scottish racer and made a determined effort to catch him in the hopes of forcing him to make a mistake. He reduced the gap to less than a fifth of a second with three laps to go, but Easton was not going to give away his debut victory easily, and charged on to take the chequered flag by a 2.7 second margin.

“I had a problem with my elbow but that had nothing to do with me not being able to pass young Stuart. He rode superbly and thoroughly deserved his victory,” said a philosophical Rutter after the race.

Almost 30 seconds behind Rutter was John McGuinness on the Ventaxia UK Honda who lost sight of the leaders after making a sluggish start and was never able to catch them after that.

Luis Carreira (Benimoto Suzuki Yoshimura 1000) was an impressive fourth, his best ever result in the Far East Classic, snatching the place away on the final lap from American Michael Barnes (Ventaxia UK Honda).

Ulsterman Stephen Thompson (Sloan Developments Honda) was sixth over the line.

To make it a great day for the Scottish, Keith Amor, the 34-year-old from Falkirk, won the Supersport 600 class by taking 11th place overall two places in front of Frenchman Gerald Muteau (Halfen - Team of Paris Triumph 675).


Joao Fernandes became the first local rider to take a podium finish in the event with third spot in the 600 class, but the 31-year-old needed pain-killing injections to cope with injuries sustained in a recent accident at the Zhuhai Circuit in China.
