More than expected from Morais
South African rider Sheridan Morais, a former Superstock rider in Europe, gave the local fans plenty to shout about at Kyalami, running out in the points in each race, with his 11th place in race 2 a particular highlight. He made a small set-up change between races and found himself in more competitive form, going from an already impressive 13th to a particularly creditworthy 11th in the second 24-lap contest.
Now an SA Superbike and Supersport regular, Morais said of his first race weekend in WSB on slicks, "That was a race! The first one I was fighting but went backwards, but such small changes on these World Superbikes make a crucial difference. We made like a tiny change to the bike and it was a different bike to ride. So I could really race. I missed a top ten by one place but I absolutely rode my heart out. The team did a fantastic job and I am pretty happy."
