Walker out of Pr1mo Racing

Could this be the last we see of The Stalker in BSB?

End of an era?

CHRIS WALKER won't be riding for Pr1mo Kawasaki in 2012.

Walker announced in a blog post on his website that he has been 'flicked' for the young up and coming rider Joe Burns.

Walker goes on to say that team boss Dan Cheevers had made 'another U-turn' and had failed to contact him, despite three seperate handshakes that the deal was going ahead.

"I truly believed a second year on the same bike & with the new rule changes would have seen me close the gap on the top teams & fight for a place in the top six showdown." said Walker

Walker claims Cheevers added insult to injury by using his name to help the team qualify for the Elite Team entry.


Perhaps The Stalker would think this video is quite apt.

You can't really blame Pr1mo, Stalker has never exactly set the racing world on fire in terms of results, let the youngsters have a go!

Not sure that's the issue Stalker has Red Mille, it's the using of his name to get an Elite team entry.
I agree though, he is way past it now in terms of racing.

Even so. its a disgusting way to treat a genuinely nice guy like chris. And if the "using my name to get elite status" bit is right then that is pretty low.

Hope stalker gets himself an awsome ride... are MSS still looking for riders?

Quote: 'he is way past it now in terms of racing.'

Er... fifth place in race two at the last Brands Hatch round on an Evo bike?

If they did use Chris' name just to get elite status, then told him he's not needed, surely the elite status goes too doesn't it? You know, since he's not actually riding for Pr1mo...

Red Mille
The issue of using his name is pure conjecture. Fifth place? Retire gracefully.

Evo bike? How many evo bikes have 220hp at the wheel, factory swingarm, full ktech suspension, factory ecu, racing internals, brembos, etc,etc?... Wise up!

That bike was capable of wining races! 5th place yes but where would he have finished in a dry race? 10th-15th.

Huge stalker fan but he hasn't been at the front for 10years (excluding Assen 2007). Time to move on me thinks.

Too many fingers in too many pies maybe?

How can he run a start up business effectively, train for BSB at the same time?

Asking a lot of anyone me thinks.

Still will be a face for kawasaki though, with both track and off road schools.

I think the stalker is riding for Bournemouth Kawasaki next year

walker wasn't on an evo bike he was racing a full superbike.
if it hadn't been for injured riders walker would have been 15th in the championship, not good enough for a rider of his calibre.
