Ben Wilson is eyeing up a remarkable ride at Cadwell Park this weekend after successful surgery on his broken leg.
The Kirton rider broke his fibula and tibia after coming off at Thruxton last weekend – with the injury being on the same leg that he broke a few years ago.
Wilson will be in attendance to support his Gearlink Kawasaki team-mates at the Louth circuit and will also undergo a medical test today (Thursday) to see if he is fit to race in the Dickies British Supersport races.
Wilson said: “If there is a chance I can race at Cadwell, obviously I will take it. It’s the one race I have been looking forward to all season and it will be so disappointing if I have to miss it.
“I have been having sessions in the hyperbaric chamber twice a day and also seen the chiropractor every day for laser treatment and other specific work to aid the healing process which is really helping.
“But the final decision rests with the medical staff.”
