Farquhar wins again at Kells
Ryan Farquhar made it a superb 19 wins for the season on Sunday when he took a double victory at the Kells Road Races, County Meath, claiming both of the Open races on his Harker Racing ZX-10 Kawasaki. To make it a entirely satisfying and successful day, Ryan also finished a close second in both of the Supersport 600cc races, adding another lap record to his continually growing collection.
Held on the 2.25-mile Crossakiel circuit, the day saw Ryan and Keith Amor go head to head in all four of the races and such was the closeness of the racing, the biggest winning margin was a scant 0.8seconds. In the first 600cc Championship race, Ryan had to settle for second place on the 600cc Kawasaki only 0.327s adrift of his Scottish rival and it was even close in the non-Championship encounter later in the day. After 8 hard fought laps, Ryan just missed out on the win by the almost unimagineable margin of 0.097seconds although he did have the consolation of setting a new class lap record at 108.299mph.
