Gutted Wilson sits out Cadwell Park after failing medical following double break

Despite his best effort in trying to regain his fitness Ben Wilson failed a medical and was deemed unfit to race at Cadwell Park in round eight of the British Supersport Championship over the weekend.

The Kirton racer suffered two broken bones in his leg in a crash at Thruxton two weeks ago and has been having treatment twice a day in the hyperbaric chamber.

He also saw his chiropractor for more treatment in an effort to be fit for the Cadwell races last weekend.

He attended a medical at the circuit on Thursday but unfortunately the medical team decided he was unfit to race.

Wilson said: “Despite pushing myself and trying absolutely everything to be able to be ready to race, unfortunately I have been deemed unfit to race.

“Totally gutted not to be riding my home circuit, this was the one I was most looking forward to all season. Thanks so much everyone for all your messages and support – it means a lot”

Wilson remained at the circuit to support his Gearlink Kawasaki team over the weekend and will continue with his recovery over the next couple of weeks.

He will be aiming his sights at a possible return to action at the next round at Oulton Park in early September.
