Ben's Comments |

“Not much I can say about this weekend really. Again the weather was very dodgy, with on and off rain throughout the weekend. My shoulder is still not properly healed from the Knockhill crash and on a track as physically demanding as this I was always going to struggle! I found myself towards the back of the field all weekend. I was really stuggling to pull the bike down hard into the slower corners and there is also a lot of hard braking into the hairpin and chicanes that really told on my shoulder. Its pretty demoralising because I was getting passed by guys that I know I’m quicker than around there and there was no way that I could fight back! We’ve got a bit of a break in the calendar now so I just need to make sure that I rest the shoulder and aim to be 100% fit by the time we get to Croft." |
