Double Win For De Dyker - Landrake 28th May 06
CAS Honda’s Ken De Dycker confidently increased his British Championship lead by 33 points at the half way stage of the Championship at Landrake on Sunday. With the unpredictable British weather no-one was sure of track conditions prior to this event however the rain stayed away on race day and the circuit had been well prepared for this event.
Ken took his time in qualification, getting familiar with one of the many British tracks that he has not previously seen. By the end of the session his fastest lap time put him in 4th position.
As the gate dropped for the first race Ken took the holeshot closely followed by Noble, Bill, Jones and Bradshaw. By the 6th lap he had pulled away from the rest of the pack with a comfortable 9.7 second lead which later increased to 10.6 seconds. Ken cruised to the chequered flag under no pressure whatsoever giving the crowd some excitement with a little freestyle over the table top by the finish to end the race.

On the podium at the end of the day Ken said that he had been working very hard every day to help with his speed and stamina and that he would be looking for more podiums both at the British and World Championships. He is also looking forward to team mate Josh Coppins getting back on his bike and going practising together where the Belgian can hopefully learn from the World number 2. The CAS Team are starting the long trip to Bulgaria for this weekends GP.
