Welsh weekend sees Wilson clinch the title

Ollie Wilson put on a champion show in the penultimate two rounds of the DTRA Flat track youth intermediate championship at the Amman Valley track in Carmarthenshire.
He won all three races and the grand final, which give him maximum points and the 2023 title.
Riding the KTM85cc, the 12 year old rider from Kirton, a second year pupil at the Banovallum School in Horncastle,has won every race in the five rounds of the championship so far.
Wilson is the eldest son of former British Superbike and Supersport rider Ben Wilson, who is now team manager for the Gearlink British Supersport team, which runs with the British Superbike championship. He is also a director at Wilsons Motorcycles at Kirton.
He said: “It is job done now. Ollie has done more than enough to win the championship and he can go into the final weekend of racing with the pressure off and enjoy himself.
“He has done so well this year and deserves his title as he has worked hard in different weather conditions.
“We did lose one round of the series as we had very heavy rain for the Mallory round, which caused his class to be cancelled on safety grounds.
“But he has sailed through the rest of the rounds, winning every race and we are so proud of his achievements.”
Wilson is on home territory for the final round of the championship, which is being held at the Greenfield Oval, near Horncastle, on September 30/October 1.
