MOTORSPORT: Wilson targets pacesetters
FIRED-UP Ben Wilson is aiming to keep the pressure on the championship pacesetters this weekend.
The Gearlink Kawasaki rider from Kirton travels to Croft for round ten of the British Supersport championship.
Wilson is anxious to add to his points tally and maintain his fourth place in the overall rider standings - while also keeping a watchful eye on those above him.
He had a confidence boost when he finished third at his home circuit of Cadwell Park last week and is eager for more of the same at Croft.
The North Yorkshire circuit has been kind to him in the past. Last season he was third for Gearlink Kawasaki and in 2008 he took two third places, one in the R1 Cup and the other in the Superstock championship.
Wilson said: "I am really looking forward to Croft, it's a circuit I enjoy and is well suited to the Gearlink Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R.
"We are nearing the end of the season now and I need to keep the pressure on the guys ahead of me in the championship so will be going all out for a top result."
With three races left in the series, Graham Gowland holds third place in the rider standings but is only three points ahead of Wilson and a finish could see him elevated up into the top three.
Free practice takes place on Friday, followed by qualifying on Saturday ahead of the 18-lap British Supersport race on Sunday at 3.40pm.
