Stephen Sword rode to consistent
results and moved closer to the top three
in the championship points. The Kawasaki
factory rider has been moving along slowly
and is now just eight points off the
series lead.
"The track was very fast, and the second race I had a good feeling," Sword
said. "We changed the tire, and they
watered the track so much - we always
get the wet races. We have the new bike,
and I want to win an overall."
