Jamie Hamilton and the KMR Kawasaki team continued their winning streak on Saturday with another win in the Supertwins class, this time at the Tandragee 100. The 22-year old added to the success already recorded on the 650cc ER6 Kawasaki at Scarborough and Cookstown to maintain his 100% record for the season.

The Ballyclare rider was comfortable throughout the 5-lap race and ended up taking his fourth victory of the season by 2.683s from William Davison. He also enjoyed a solid day in his other races although arm pump prevented him from securing a podium position in the Supersport 600cc race as he slipped back from an early lead to an eventual sixth. Sixth was also the outcome in the feature Tandragee 100 race on the Kawasaki ZX-10R as he enjoyed a good three-rider dice for fourth.


For second rider Connor Behan it was also a strong day as he made his debut around the demanding 5.34-mile road course. Despite problems in qualifying with his Supertwin machine which meant he had to start from the back row of the grid, the Northwich rider fought his way through the field to claim sixth in the Junior Support race whilst an even stronger ride in the Senior Support class saw him take third on the 636cc Kawasaki for his second road race podium in successive weekends.

Speaking later, a pleased team boss Ryan Farquhar commented;

“It’s been a pretty good day and with Jamie taking another win in the Supertwins race, we’ve been able to extend our winning streak to four wins in the class and maintain our unbeaten record. He had it under control throughout and rode another good race so, with the class being my priority for the year, it’s great to top the podium once more. He was able to claim two more top six finishes despite suffering from arm pump in the Supersport race, which is something he hasn’t experienced before but Tandragee is one of those circuits where you need to know where to grip the bike tightly and where to relax. It’s one of the most demanding courses on the calendar but he brought the bike home and two more sixth places are good for his experience. I’ve said all along finishing races is the key and that’s what he’s doing.”

“Connor was making his debut at another circuit and wet conditions on Friday didn’t help his learning curve whilst problems with the Supertwin meant he didn’t get to complete a lap. We had to run a lower-spec bike for the race but to get sixth from the back row of the grid was very good whilst third in the Senior Support was obviously an excellent result. He’s finished all his races for us so far and he’s doing everything right so it’s definitely a case of ‘so far, so good’.”
