By The Anglo/German Kraus Racing squad’s Superbike Classic TT challenge, for the second successive year will be led by TT Privateers champion, Bennetts Lightweight TT runner up Jamie Coward.
Hebden Bridge’s Coward as in 2018, is set to pilot ZXR 750 Kawasaki machinery in the four lap RST Superbike race.
More than capable of giving the Kraus squad in conjunction with PreZ Racing a maiden Classic TT podium finish, the Yorkshireman enjoyed recently another productive Manx roads stint, at last week’s Southern 100, banking five podium finishes including securing three second place finishes from the feature Supersport races.
Growing in stature on modern day four stroke machinery, the fastest Yamaha mounted competitor in TT history is an established high calibre, top class yesteryear classics racing exponent.
