Bowker Motorrad-supported rider Kieran returned to the track for Round 2 after six weeks away – and marked his comeback with a personal best lap time and his first-ever main event podium.
The weekend got off to a strong start in Free Practice 1, where Kieran set a new PB lap time. It was a confidence-boosting result that set the tone for the sessions ahead.
In qualifying, Kieran made the most of the early laps, picking up a useful tow to build momentum. After a brief reset in the pits, he pushed again in the final minutes and delivered a clean, fast lap to secure P6 on the grid.
Heat 1 saw Kieran line up on the front row and claim the Holeshot, leading the first lap with confidence. Despite being passed by two riders, he held position to finish in P3 – adding another podium to his tally.
Starting from second in the main event, Kieran got off to a strong start and settled into the top four early on. A crash ahead promoted him to third, and a brave attempt to move up the order saw him momentarily take second before a dramatic high-side moment forced him to regroup. He held off late pressure on the final lap to cross the line in third – securing his first podium in a main event.
Bowker Motorrad is proud to support Kieran on his racing journey and celebrates his continued progress. A huge thanks goes to Gary Walton for his coaching across the weekend. With momentum building, we look forward to seeing what’s next at WSBK Donington.
