Things can only better for Ben Wilson as the MCE British Superbike Championship heads to his home track of Cadwell Park this weekend.

Kirton racer Wilson endured a torrid time in the previous round at Oulton Park, having been withdrawn from the three races by Gearlink Kawasaki when the machine became unstable.

The team also suffered with technical problems at Thruxton in the previous round, so have taken drastic action in a bid to get themselves competitive once again.

The bike has been stripped down and rebuilt over the past two weeks in an effort to solve the problems that have plagued the team for the majority of the races this year – and Wilson has had a couple of test sessions to make sure the bike is on good form for his two races on home Tarmac.

The weekend begins with two free practice sessions on Saturday, one at 10.10am and the other at 3.30pm.

On Sunday there is a third free practice session at 10.10am ahead of the three stage qualifying laps at 4.05pm.

Bank holiday Monday then sees Wilson take part in the 15-minute warm up to make sure all is well for the two races.

The first of those is at 1pm and takes in 18 laps of the picturesque Cadwell circuit.

The second race is scheduled for 4.30pm over the same race distance.

As per usual, Sunday’s qualifying and Monday’s two races will be screened live by British Eurosport 2.
