Ben Wilson heads to Cheshire for round nine of the British Supersport championship which takes place at Oulton Park this weekend – and he is hopeful of competing despite his broken leg.
After sitting out the last round at Cadwell Park as he recovers from the injury sustained at Thruxton five weeks ago, Wilson is anxious to get his season back under way at one of his more favoured circuits on Saturday.
Despite missing two rounds – four races – he still holds seventh place in the rider standings.
The Lincolnshire rider from Kirton did want to race at Cadwell three weeks ago, but he didn’t get past the medical at the circuit.
It was a bit ambitious just two weeks after the double break in his leg, but despite Wilson having treatment in the hyperbaric chamber to speed up his recovery, he was pronounced unfit.
But with an extra three weeks of treatment to aid the recovery process it is likely Wilson will be on the grid at Oulton Park.
The timetable is: Friday – free practice 9.35am and 1.50pm.
Saturday – qualifying 11.10am; race one (12 laps) 5pm.
Sunday – warm-up 12.15pm; race two (15 laps) 3.40pm.
