Roo Cotton, the 25-year-old from Poole took his 2009 spec R1 Yamaha to his first ever Superbike double win at Pembrey. Cotton is no stranger to wins over the years after having racked up many on his TZ125 and TZ250 Yamaha’s in the past but this weekend he got to grips with the R1 and Pembrey. It was a weekend of mixed emotions though for Roo and The DTR Dennis Trollope Racing Team as they lost team member Neil Kent recently in the Manx Grand Prix. Cotton rode the weekend with “Kenty #16 RIP” emblazoned down the side of his yellow and black R1 as a mark of respect, and was visibly delighted to take both the STP Motorsport Powerbike and Phoenix Open finals on Sunday beating local hero Phil Bevan on both occasions.
