BEN WILSON – SNETTERTON PREVIEW
Gearlink Kawasaki rider Ben Wilson from Kirton near Boston is busy preparing for round seven of the British Supersport championship that takes place at Snetterton in Norfolk on Sunday where in last year’s race he rode to eighth position.
Wilson recorded the runner up spot in the last round at a wet and windy Knockhill and will be hoping for a similar result at Snetterton. But he will have a difficult job on his hands as the circuit is one of the fastest tracks on the British Supersport calendar and he will have to pull out all the stops if he is to get up into the top three.
Currently placed fourth in the rider standings it is imperative that Wilson has a good run on Sunday to maintain that position and edge closer to Billy McConnell who hold third place with a 20 point advantage over the Lincolnshire rider.
“I realise that the pace will be hot,” said Wilson. “But with the backing of Gearlink Kawasaki and the Ninja ZX-6R underneath me I will be going all out for a strong result. Let’s hope the weather behaves itself this weekend and we can get some good racing under our belts.”
Free practice and qualifying take place on Friday and Saturday followed by a 20-lap race at 3.45pm on Sunday that will benefit from live television coverage on British Eurosport 2.
