SILVERSTONE 05

Sixth row start

A weekend to be forgotten was Silverstone for Ben.

 

After a bad start to the weekend crashing out at Bridge in the rain in Fridays free practice session 

Ben struggled to set his bike up and qualified in 21 st not where he wanted to be back on the 6th row on the grid.

 

Race one saw Ben barge his way through to 13th place and after a red flag restarted the race on the 3rd row. This gave Ben an advantage and he made his way up to 11th place but then crashed out after getting tangled with Steve Plater at Luffield.

 

Race two went no better  for the luckless rider who started on the 5th row and made his way up the field again but pushed hard and lost the front end at Copse on lap 10 resulting in a trip to the medical centre for treatment on a badly bruise arm.

 

 Ben will be at his home track of Cadwell Park next weekend and will be looking for a good result in front of his home crowd.
