Stalker struggled with his bike set up, Bank Holiday weekend at Oulton, and this showed through, when he qualified in a disappointing 13th position - unlucky for some?!

Despite being on fourth row of the grid, Chris made his trademark start and shot to 8th place before the first bend. He maintained the pace until after the fourth lap, when he lost the front of the bike at the chicane and landed in the gravel. His best efforts to jump start the bike failed, signalling the end of Race 1.

In Race 2, Stalker was uncharacteristically slow off the mark and as he later ran on at the chicane, pure determination drove him, to ensure history did not repeat itself, as he rejoined the race.

Having lost ground, Chris persevered to finish 9th in the second race, clocking up more valuable points (62 to date) and securing an 8th ranking overall. It's nail biting stuff as we go into the next round at Snetterton on the 18th, 19th, 20th May.

Go Stalker!!!!!
