Chris Walker, known as The Stalker, is a much loved British motorcycle racer from Nottingham. He only started circuit racing in 1995 after many years as an accomplished motocross rider but by the end of that year and into 1996 he rose through the ranks with ease and had ridden in GP's and scored points. In 1997 he was challenging for the prestigious British Superbike championship, coming agonisingly close in 2000, when an engine failure in his Suzuki took him out of a winning position with just 3 laps remaining of the final race at Donnington Park, leaving Chris in tears. An attempt at the 500cc World Championship in 2001 brought few smiles either on a factory Shell sponsored Honda that was hard to ride and forced Chris to over ride, resulting in many huge crashes. So for 2002 Chris went to the World Superbike series, initially with the Fuchs Kawasaki team. He was 6th in the championship for GSE Ducati in 2003, and 11th for Carl Fogarty's Foggy Petronas team in 2004, respectively teamed with James Toseland and Troy Corser (both of whom won the title the next season, Tosland riding the 2004 Fila Ducati to success and Corser the Alstare Suzuki in 2005). In 2005 he joined the PSG team, proving to be the most consistent Kawasaki rider in terms of pace and results, securing one podium finish (3rd place, round 6 at Valencia) and finishing 7th place overall. 2006 will see Chris teamed up with Frenchman Regis Laconi on a Kawasaki Europe backed ZX10R for the PSG-1 Kawasaki Corse team with high hopes of improving on last year's performance.
