He led from start-to-flnish to win Saturday’s race, before finding himself locked in a duel for the win on Sunday with title rival Taylor Mackenzie. The race was decided on the final lap; as Cooper held the lead, Mackenzie’s attempt to pass into the final chicane saw him run on, leaving the Suzuki ace to ride unchallenged to the chequered ffag. The win gave Cooper his 11th of the season and his second Superstock 1000 title.It was back to Oulton Park for the ninth It was a return to Donington Park for the penultimate round of the series and with the title in the bag, Cooper kept out of trouble, taking a secure second place and yet another podium.The final race of the season was at Brands Hatch in October, and Cooper – running the Number 1 plate on the front of his GSX-R1000 after sealing the 2019 National Superstock 1000 title at Oulton Park in September – capped-ofi his season with another fine podium.

If it wasn’t for Thruxton, we’d have had a podium at every round, and that’s how you put championships together. “It’s been one of my best seasons ever. It’s been a lot of fun, the team has been great and it’s been so rewarding this year, which is why we go racing. Huge thanks to the team and Suzuki for making it happen.”Cooper out front at Oulton Park on his GSX-R10002019 Winter Issue2019 BSB SUPERSTOCK
