SECOND PLACE FOR RUTTER AT NORTH WEST 200
Stobart Motorsport rider Michael Rutter claimed second place in today’s Kennedy International North West 200 but was left cursing his luck after not adding to his tally of eleven victories.
Riding the VK Vodka Kick and Vent Axia backed Honda Fireblade, the 33 year old Midlander was comfortably leading both of today’s Superbike races in front of a massive crowd and in perfect conditions at the nine mile County Antrim closed roads circuit.
But within sight of the finish of the opening race Rutter crashed out at low speed after clipping a grass verge and then in race two he was gradually overhauled on the final lap by fellow Honda rider Steve Plater in the day’s big feature race.
