BSB Round 4 Snetterton 300

Luca Wilkinson aka El Loco #76听

FP: I went out and got back used to the track after not riding here since last year. Had a good feeling within 2 laps I had already beaten my personal best lap there and did a 2:04.062 putting me in 3rd place for free practice.

Qualifying: Really good qualifying overall, I went out at the back but couldn鈥檛 get a clear lap in for the first 6 minutes of the session so I pitted and went out with a clear track and put a time that put me on pole. I pitted again and we decided with the team to wait out the rest of the session to save the tires but with 4 minutes left another rider went quicker and听Nick Weston听sent me out at the perfect time giving me the perfect lap with a slip stream and doing a time that put on Pole Position and my PB of 2:02:2 and half a second to P2 on the grid.

Race 1: Unfortunately not much to say about race one, I got a good start and got the hole shot lead for the first 2 laps but on lap 3 I crashed out of the lead at turn 3 putting race 1 to an end.

Huge thanks to the team for working late into the night to get the bike fixed.

Race 2: Starting in 7th after only putting in one flying lap from race 1, I got a good start and got straight into third, at turn 2 on lap 1 I got hit by 2 riders which pushed me wide letting the top 2 get a gap. Dropped back a bit and in the end I got 6th place but had a really good battle with @marleymackenzie and听Ben Jolife听which was a lot of fun and great learning.

Overall a lot to take in with my 1st Pole and 1st crash in the year leaving a lot learned and still a lot to learn but we go again stronger and more confident for the next round at brands hatch.

Zack Weston听

Snetterton definitely isn鈥檛 near the top of my list of tracks I like but Overall a pretty good weekend, struggled with getting a good set up and overall speed through the traps but the team pulled together and got me a good bike set up for the race making the 11 laps feel much easier.

Got a shocker of a start for the race and dropped a few positions but got into my grove and put in some good laps getting past a few riders, battled with a few riders meaning I couldn鈥檛 carry on at that pace and catch the next group of riders but still enjoyed the race. A shame we only had one race this weekend as I felt I had more.

Roll on Brands! Thank you to everyone who makes it possible.

Craig Dance

Tough weekend but learnt a lot having a few issues with the bike but hopefully should be sorted for Brands.

FP1 and FP2听I felt good, was just dusting of the cobwebs.

Qualifying: P32
Was struggling for pace since the bike set up was wrong and had no engine braking.

Race: DNF
Had a little front-end crash on lap 4 on turn 2 but we learn from these mistakes and I鈥檝e learnt a lot.

Onwards and upwards for brands hatch my home circuit鈥�

Hudson Cooper

Snetterton was a really important weekend for me as it marked my return to the听Moto4 Championship after missing time through injury. Coming back into it, I knew it was always going to be tough. Not only was I trying to get back up to speed physically and mentally, but with everything that happened at Oulton, it honestly felt like this was my first proper race weekend in the series because I can鈥檛 remember anything from the opening round.

We started the weekend by听Qualifying听13th on the grid. It was around where I expected to be, but after time away and getting back into the rhythm of racing the Moto4 bike in a championship environment, it gave me something solid to work from heading into the races.

Race 1, I finished 12th. It was a race where I was still finding my feet a little bit and building confidence back up lap by lap. It was valuable track time and an important step in getting myself back into the groove of the championship.

Race 2听was a lot more positive in terms of pace, race craft and set-up. I got a strong start and managed to work my way up to 8th in the opening few laps, which was a big confidence boost and showed that the speed was there. Unfortunately, I couldn鈥檛 quite hold onto that position all the way to the finish and crossed the line in 11th, but there were still plenty of positives to take away.

The biggest positive from the weekend was the pace in the final race. Although it took me a little while to get going, I ended up getting the 6th fastest lap-time in race 2, which is encouraging moving forward to听Brands Hatch听next weekend.

It shows that the pace is there, and now it鈥檚 about putting the full weekend together from the first session and converting that pace into stronger results.

BSB Round 5 Brands Hatch GP

Luca Wilkinson aka El Loco #76听

FP: Not Great. Getting to grips with the track & a rider braked sharply. I had to swerve to avoid them, missed my brake point sending me into the gravel at Sheene鈥檚. I hit the barrier which snapped the rearset, I manage to stay on but session over.

Qualifying: I went out treating the qualifying more like FP as everyone was a session ahead of me. The best I could manage was P12 which I wasn鈥檛 happy with but I took it on the chin.

Race1: I get a really good start making my way to P6 by turn 2 and tried my best to hold on to the leading group. Got passed but a couple laps later he crashed out promoting me back to P6.The rest of the race I was in a heated battle between听Oakley Racing听and听Lewis Mullen听. On the last lap Lewis dove up my inside running me a bit wide and Freddy managed to get past both of us but I managed to drag Lewis to the line behind Freddy just beat me to the line, finished in 7th. Great race.

Warm up: Another incident! A rider ran wide through Hawthorns, I went to go up the inside but he pulled it back & I had to grab the brakes to avoid him & the bike ended up flipping over the barrier. The bike was badly damaged but the team did an amazing job to get the bike ready for race 2 and a massive thanks to听Andy Wales,听Lucas King听SIMON,听Zack Weston.

Race2: I went out knowing there could potentially be something wrong with the bike. Good start to get in with the leading group but on lap one my right handlebar just slightly twisted in, tried to manage it for a couple laps but it kept moving so I came in got it done up and went back out. In the end I finished last but still enjoyed the expert pit boarding from听Nick Weston听and听Kiera King.

Overall probably a weekend to forget but we move on & learn. On to Oulton next week.

Zack Weston听

Fp1/Fp2

Practice went really good I felt really comfortable on the bike I had a few issues on the old tyres I was using but overall very good, finishing p16 combined.

Qualifying.

Bit of a tricky one tbh, I put my lap time early on on my own in the session then spent the rest of the session catching slower riders on laps I was down on my Quickest but still happy with my position and felt I had more for the race.

Race 1

Unfortunately another rider crashed and I collided with their bike ending my race on lap 1, there was nothing I could鈥檝e done to avoid it just wrong place wrong time.

Massive thank you to the team听Adam Cooper听, Kieron, Andy with their work on and off my bike everything was on point this weekend.

Craig Dance

My home round was looking to perform better than I did but learning loads every time I鈥檓 out.

FP1-FP2听felt good just learning the track since it was the first time on the bike here and had a little of at Druids but bike had basically no damage.

Qualifying听was struggling for pace trying to get tow from someone then last lap finally got a tow and was up by a lot on my time but got red flagged at the final corner.

Race 1听Started P38 due to my grid penalty from Snetterton but I chipped away in the race and brought it home for a P24.

We go again for Oulton Park鈥�

Hudson Cooper

Heading to Brands Hatch just a few weeks after Snetterton, I was feeling really positive. We made some good progress at the last round and I couldn’t wait to get back on the bike.

I’d only ever raced the Indy circuit before, so riding the full GP layout for the first time was an incredible experience. It’s such an iconic track and finally getting to complete a full lap was something I’ve looked forward to for a long time.

Free Practice

The first two practice sessions were all about learning the extra sections of the circuit and building confidence. Every time I went out I felt more comfortable, improved my personal best and started to understand where I could find more time. It definitely felt like we were moving in the right direction.

Qualifying

We made the most of every minute in qualifying, completing 14 laps. On my final lap, despite not having the ideal track position or a tow, I managed to set my fastest time of the weekend. Qualifying 12th and finishing just 1.5 seconds off pole position was something I was pleased with, especially around such a demanding circuit.

Race One

I made a solid start, although I got boxed in on the inside into Paddock Hill Bend. By the time we reached Druids I was up to eighth, but after the run through Cooper Straight I had slipped back to 11th as the pack shuffled around.

The race then settled into a brilliant battle with Thorley, Tyler and Aeziah. Unfortunately, on lap three I lost the front going into Druids. I managed to stop what could have been a big high-side, but I couldn’t save the bike. Sadly, Thorley was caught up in the incident and also crashed. Sorry Thorley.

Race Two

Starting from 14th on the grid, I made another good start and moved up to 13th early on. Unfortunately I just couldn’t quite stay with the group ahead, so it turned into a fairly lonely race.

After Thorley’s crash I focused on riding consistently, managing the gap behind and bringing the bike home safely. I crossed the line in 11th, collecting more valuable championship points and more importantly more experience.

Overall, there were plenty of positives to take away from the weekend. Every lap on the GP circuit helped me improve and I feel like we’re continuing to move forward with every round.

Next up is Silverstone alongside MotoGP. Racing on the world stage at one of the biggest events of the year is going to be an amazing experience and one I’m really looking forward to.

A huge thank you to everyone who came over to say hello throughout the weekend. Your support really does mean a lot.

Round 1 鈥� Oulton Park

鈥淔riday practice was OK. I didn鈥檛 feel great in the new leathers and had a small issue with the electronics on the bike (quickshifter and blipper), but it was OK. In qualifying I only got two laps in as the clutch failed, so we qualified at the back of the grid.

鈥淩ace 1 鈥� Great start from last up to 14th and trying to push forward, but the new leathers really caused me pain. I鈥檇 never had arm pump and it was the worst feeling. I eventually had to retire on lap seven as it was becoming dangerous. So disappointed, but the right decision.

鈥淩ace 2 鈥� Starting from P14 I had another brilliant start up to P8, settled in and was battling for P9, but the engine started overheating and I eventually got meatballed (black and orange flag). A really disappointing weekend, but the team worked so hard and we鈥檝e now resolved the mechanical issues that were causing the problems. Roll on Donington Park.鈥�

Round 2 鈥� Donington Park

鈥淪traight from my exams, it was a mad dash to get on track. Three laps to settle, then Nick pulled me in, told me what I needed to do, and I beat my previous PB by 2.1 seconds with a 1:41.9 to sit P9 by the end of the session. In qualifying I got onto the pace straight away and on my fourth flying lap went quicker still for a new PB of 1:40.8, putting me ninth on the grid. Really happy with a top-ten grid spot.

鈥淩ace 1 鈥� A wet race! Not the best start as I spun up off the line, and on the first lap through Starkey鈥檚 a rider ahead lost the rear and sent me across the wet grass at 100mph 鈥� new underwear time! I jumped the access road and managed to rejoin just before Coppice, dead last. The safety car came out and caught the riders in front, so we lost the pack and I was 12.5s behind at the restart. I settled in, pushed as hard as I could, had a few little slides but brought it home in 9th, setting a time that put me on the front row in P2. Well pleased.

鈥淩ace 2 鈥� I got a good start but Marley overtook, then up towards McLeans I dived up the inside of Ben to take P2, which I held until he got back past into the Esses. The first couple of laps we were all swapping positions, but with about five laps to go I got back into 2nd and tried to catch Marley. Unfortunately it started to rain slightly and I had a slide out of Melbourne which knocked my confidence, so I dropped back from the leading three. On the last lap Lewis came up my inside into Melbourne, then into Goddards I made a late dive up the inside and held it to the line, with Lewis only 0.01s behind. Very, very happy with the weekend and I can鈥檛 wait to go again at Knockhill.鈥�

Round 1 鈥� Oulton Park

鈥淒efinitely not the weekend I thought it would be 鈥� a bit of bad luck with technical issues that made the bike really difficult to ride. I did what I could in the races and brought it home. Donington is next weekend so we go again there. Thank you to everyone who makes it 辫辞蝉蝉颈产濒别.鈥�

Round 2 鈥� Donington Park

鈥淥verall we made a good step with the bike. The team did an amazing job every session, solving technical issues and putting together set-ups. Qualifying wasn鈥檛 amazing as I couldn鈥檛 get into a rhythm, but I got stuck in during the race and moved forward. Race 2 started well and I was battling with a group of riders, but I struggled with rear grip in the latter stages. A massive thank you to the team for all their hard work this weekend. Roll on Knockhill, and thank you to everyone who makes it 辫辞蝉蝉颈产濒别.鈥�

Round 1 鈥� Oulton Park

鈥淎 difficult weekend getting used to the bike and bedding in all the new gear in FP1 and FP2. Qualifying was decent in P30. I had pace and felt confident, but something felt wrong with the bike as I was basically last in every speed trap, which is unusual for me 鈥� we鈥檙e looking into it.

鈥淩ace 1 鈥� DNF. On lap one a rider ahead had an issue and unfortunately I was directly behind him. I just managed to swerve in time but still ripped my fairings off, which meant I was shown the meatball flag to retire the bike. Race 2 鈥� P31. I definitely felt I could have done a lot better, but it is what it is and we roll on to Round 2. Thanks to the team for getting my bike ready and looking fresh, and thank you to my sponsors who make all this 辫辞蝉蝉颈产濒别.鈥�

Round 1 鈥� Oulton Park

鈥淭he weekend at Oulton Park started on a very positive note as I continued to build confidence and pace in my debut season in the Moto4 British Cup. After running around the top ten in class throughout free practice, I qualified an impressive P7.

鈥淚n Race 1 I had a great start and was running competitively inside the top five. Unfortunately my race ended on the penultimate lap while running P5, after I lost the front through the dip in the chicane and crashed out of contention. I鈥檇 also like to apologise to Luke Fitchett, who hit my bike during the incident.

鈥淒uring the crash I suffered a significant laceration to my neck after contact with the screen of the bike, as well as a knock to the head. The British Superbike Championship medical team were outstanding, providing exceptional care both at the circuit and during the assessments that followed. I was later diagnosed with concussion which, under championship regulations, ruled me out for 20 days 鈥� meaning I sadly missed Round 2 at Donington Park.

鈥淲hile it was disappointing not to line up, the positives from Oulton Park far outweigh that. Qualifying P7 and battling with the front group for a top-five position showed the progress we鈥檝e made and confirmed we have genuine top-ten pace in this highly competitive championship.

鈥淚 still attended Donington Park for Round 2 and took part in the Moto4 rider fitness test. It was great to support the NW Racing team all weekend, and I was also invited onto the BSB Radio commentary team for the Moto4 class, which was a great experience.

鈥淢y focus now turns to recovery. I鈥檒l keep working on my fitness programme with my personal trainer at Storme CrossFit Ashby and come back stronger, fitter and even more motivated for the next round at Snetterton. A huge thank you to everyone who has messaged and offered support since the crash 鈥� it鈥檚 been massively appreciated. Thanks also to the entire NW Racing team, my chief mechanic Simon from Powertech UK, my sponsors, and everyone who continues to support me on this journey.鈥�

The whole team now looks ahead to the next rounds at Knockhill and Snetterton, with everyone at 91传媒 wishing Hudson a speedy recovery.

鈥淲hat a way to end the season! G&S Racing Kawasaki riders TJ Toms and Jorel Boerboom completed both races and celebrated the final race with both riders in the points 鈥撎齌J within the top four.

鈥淎fter qualifying in 13th place for the short Sprint race on Saturday, TJ Toms started the 12-lap race from the fourth row and as the lights went out he immediately moved up to 11th on the opening lap. He tucked in behind Carter Brown and followed him through the majority of the race before making a move on the penultimate lap to snatch 10th place. He held his line through the final lap to take 10th at the flag and pick up sufficient points to leapfrog Dean Harrison in the rider standings to eighth position.听

鈥淭here was a dramatic change in the weather for Sunday鈥檚 season finale with rain falling making the track wet and slippery. Full wets was the order of the day, with TJ lining up in the middle of the fourth row. With crashes to riders ahead of him, the safety car was brought out a couple of times during the race which allowed TJ to remain in touch with the leading group and he circulated in 10th position through the first half of the 15-lap race.

“He then began to make his way forward and was in fifth place going into the final lap. Not satisfied with that he made a concerted effort and passed Lee Johnston on the final lap to take a well-deserved fourth place to end the season in a solid eighth place in the rider standings.”

鈥淢eanwhile, Jorel Boerboom came through first qualifying but gave himself a lot of work to do in the Sprint race after completing final qualifying down in 26th place. But he got his head down and made up a place to 25th on the first lap. He was embroiled in a five-rider battle for position and was able to pick off riders through the rest of the 12 laps to cross the finish line in 21st position.听

鈥淪tarting the final race from the eighth row, it was always going to be a struggle to get up into a point-scoring position, but Boerboom was determined to end his season on a high note and worked his way through the midfielders to latch onto the back of the group fighting for 11th place. He picked them off one by one until he got to the front of the group. With the next rider too far ahead to catch, Boerboom took the chequered flag for his best result of the season in 11th place to pick up 10 championship points.”

Team Manager, Tom Fisher: 鈥淭hat was a great result in the final race for both riders. TJ rode well in the first race to 10th and was amazing in the wet final race with fourth. He rode the wheels of the Kawasaki to get up into the top five and thoroughly deserved the fourth-place finish.

鈥淛orel also rode well. He started from way back on row eight and fought his way up to 11th. What a great way to finish his season. I have to thank the whole team for their hard work over this weekend and also our sponsors who have stuck with us throughout the years. This has been our best season by far and we couldn’t have done this without their input. Also thanks go to our supporters, many of whom have been at the track to cheer us on.鈥�

Friday Practice

鈥淔riday鈥檚 practice went well. Small issue with the bike, but it wasn鈥檛 affecting my lap times, so we just rode around it.鈥�

Saturday

Qualifying

鈥淲ent out and pushed on a bit, I knew I didn鈥檛 have to put it on pole, so I just rode smart and pushed for a few laps and put it on P2 with Ollie Sims on P1, with our lap times separated by 0.03 of a second.

Race 1

鈥淪tarted the race but I noticed Ollie hadn鈥檛 gone to the grid. I pulled an 8-second lead after 3 laps and just brought it home in 1st place. Unfortunately, I came in to find out Ollie had crashed in the Minitwins qualifying and broken his collarbone.

Race 2

鈥淧retty similar to race 1; a good start, pulled a big gap and just kept at a consistent pace and brought it home in 1st place and secured the championship win.鈥�

Sunday

Race 3

鈥淚t was cold so I had to think about how to ride so I didn鈥檛 overdo it. I put a gap to 2nd and brought it home in 1st place.鈥�听

Race 4

鈥淢y 1st wet race! Good start and just rode smart but after a few laps I caught some back-markers and lost a lot of time letting a few other riders catch. Sean took me into turn 1 after I ran wide, but I retook the position and pulled a little gap to bring it back home in 1st for the last time of the year and with the championship win.

鈥淔antastic last round with 4 from 4 wins. Big shout out to Ollie who I鈥檝e battled hard with all year, not the way I wanted the year to end. GWS mate.

鈥淭hank you each & every one of our sponsors supporters and friends.鈥�

鈥淕&S Racing Kawasaki rider, TJ Toms, rode to a brace of top-10 finishes at a stormy Oulton Park with teammate Jorel Boerboom finishing further down the field in the penultimate round of the 2025 British Supersport Championship.

鈥淲ith Storm Amy disrupting Friday and Saturday鈥檚 track action due to high winds and torrential rain at times, it was not possible to complete qualifying so the grid was formed from results in the free practice sessions where TJ finished in 12th and Jorel 23rd position.

鈥淪tarting the short Sprint race from the third row, TJ Toms was running in 12th place for a while and entered into a battle for position with Zac Corderoy and Harry Truelove, finally completing the 10 lap race in 10th position.

鈥淭he Feature Race on Sunday was reduced to 12 laps because of long delays in the earlier Superbike race with TJ lining up on the third row for the start. He remained in 12th place through the early laps before starting to make his way forward on lap five. He picked off riders every other lap and found himself up in seventh place on lap seven.听听Despite the riders just behind pushing to overtake him he was able to retain his position and crossed the finish line in seventh place 0.7s ahead of Corderoy.

鈥淭hese two strong results retain his ninth place in the rider standings and move him just seven points away from Dean Harrison who holds eighth position.”

鈥淛orel Boerboom had a stronger weekend at Oulton Park. He started the Sprint race from the eighth row of the grid and made up a few places during the 10 laps but although he was right behind another group he ran out of time and had to be content with a 23rd place finish.听

鈥淗e fared much better in the Feature race and although he lost a couple of places at the start he was quick to recover and made good progress, passing riders on nearly every lap until he reached 18th position on the penultimate lap. With the next group too far ahead to make any inroads to he finished the race in 18th place.听

Team Manager, Tom Fisher: 鈥渃onsidering the dreadful weather and all the stoppages, our two riders did very well. TJ rode the wheels off the bike to reach seventh place in the Feature race and was hanging off the back of one of the championship contenders towards the end of the race. Jorel also has made big steps forward this weekend and was only a few places away from a points finish. Thanks go to our loyal sponsors and to everyone who braved the weather to come to the circuit to support us. We look forward to the final round of the series at Brands Hatch and fingers crossed for some better weather!鈥�

鈥淭he two G&S Racing Kawasaki riders, TJ Toms and Jorel Boerboom, headed over to Assen in the Netherlands for round nine of the British Supersport Championship, where both riders completed the two races. TJ Toms added to his points tally to retain his ninth place in the overall rider standings.

鈥淭J Toms completed his qualifying for a fourth-row start to the first race which was held over to Sunday because of the torrential rain on Sunday. It was windy and cold but at least it was dry and TJ was running in 11th place during the first three laps. He ran wide and cut the course on the fourth lap which resulted in him losing three places down to 14th. But he got his head down and began to make up the places again and ended the 10-lap affair in 12th place to pick up four championship points.

鈥淚n the Feature Race, TJ started from row five and entered into a five-way battle for 9th place with all five riders circulating within a second. With three laps to go, TJ eventually caught and passed Lee Johnston and went on to cross the finish line in ninth position and be rewarded with another eight championship points which sees him retain his ninth place in the standings and reduce the deficit to eighth down to 11 points.”

鈥淛orel Boerboom was racing at his home track and was within one place of going through to final qualifying. He started the first race from the middle of the 10th row and made steady progress through the field to complete the race in 23rd place.

鈥淪tarting the feature race from the ninth row, he got a great start and made up eight places on the opening lap to 18th. On lap two he passed another four riders and found himself up into 14th position. He went on to claim 13th place and was on the back of the group fighting for ninth.听But it wasn’t to be and he gradually began to drop back and completed the 16 laps in 21st place.鈥�

Team Manager, Tom Fisher: 鈥淭he weather spoiled the weekend for us at Assen. With the first race postponed until Sunday morning it made for a busy day. The riders adapted well and TJ brought more points home for us and although Jorel was going well in the second race and running in a point scoring position for a few laps he wasn’t able to keep up with the pace of the faster riders. But to his credit he was hanging on the back of the group for quite a while. His family and friends were there to cheer him on and we enjoyed their company for the weekend. Thanks again to our sponsors who give us their support, we really appreciate their input.鈥�

鈥淒espite still recovering from the scaphoid injury picked up in the crash at Cadwell Park, G&S Racing Kawasaki rider TJ Toms rode to a brace of top-eight finishes in round eight of the Quattro Group British Supersport Championship, while Jorel Boerboom suffered a crash in the first race but recovered to finish 23rd in the Feature race on Sunday.听

鈥淎fter qualifying in 11th place, TJ Toms began the Sprint race from the fourth row on Saturday. He got away to a good start and made up places on the opening lap to ninth. He was running on the tail of the leading group and entered into a battle for position with Oliver Barr exchanging seventh position with him over the remainder of the race. He finally made his pass stick on the final lap at Redgate and completed the race in a clear seventh position.听

鈥淭J started the Feature race from the second row on Sunday, but although he got off the line well. he was impeded by another rider who crashed at the first corner and he was pushed back to eighth position to once again become involved in a battle with Oliver Barr. This time he passed him on lap five of 16 and went on to reel in the leading group on lap nine. He made it up to seventh on lap 11 when the rider ahead ran wide. But one lap later was back to eighth right on the back of the top seven and setting lap times quicker than the leader. But unable to make a pass he crossed the finish line in a strong eighth place picking up 10 championship points to add to the 12 scored in the first race which move him up to ninth in the rider standings on 108 points.”

鈥淛orel Boerboom was hampered by a technical issue during free practice and qualifying which subsequently left him down on the 10th row for the start of the sprint race. The team did a great job sorting the problem out in time for the start and Boerboom was riding well, picking up places throughout the 10 laps. But on the final lap he tangled with another rider at Schwantz Curve and crashed out of 21st place, his race over.听

鈥淧laced in the middle of the 10th row for the Feature race Boerboom was 29th on the opening lap but soon began to pick off the riders ahead and by lap 13 of 16 was running in 25th place. On the final lap he gained another two places and crossed the finish line in 23rd place.”

Team Manager, Tom Fisher: 鈥淚t was a weekend of two halves for us. With his wrist feeling a tad tender we didn’t expect TJ to do what he did. He was amazing; his lap times were the same as the leading four riders and he was sticking with them through the first race. He听听would have been mixing it for the podium in the second race but for the first corner mele. He did so well to get back in touch with the leaders and has moved up a place in the听听standings.鈥�

鈥淛orel was at a disadvantage with a poor qualifying but he did make progress until the crash in the first race. then starting from that far back in race two he was never going to get into the top 20 but he persevered and got up to 23rd.听听

鈥淲e go to Assen for the next round, its a more flowing track and will suit our riders. The team is on top of the job now and we are up there in the leading group. We are developing the bikes for the future. We have our eyes on the prize for next year and have some exciting news in the pipeline. Thanks go to our sponsors once again for their continued support plus our supporters who came along to watch this weekend.鈥�

鈥淭he two G&S Kawasaki riders, TJ Toms and Jorel Boerboom, had differing results at Cadwell in round seven of the British Supersport Championship, with Boerboom safely completing both races while TJ Toms recorded a top-10 result in the first race but was unlucky to crash out of the Feature Race on the opening lap.

鈥淭oms was running well in Free Practice, within the top, 10 but was unable to maintain his position during qualifying and ended up on the fifth row for the start of the Sprint race on Sunday.

鈥淗e circulated in 13th place during the first half of the 12-lap affair, before making his charge forward, picking off riders on every other lap to eventually cross the finish line in 10th position.

鈥淭oms started the Feature Race on Bank Holiday Monday from the fourth row and was challenging for position within a group of riders on the opening lap. But as the group approached the hairpin towards the end of the lap, Toms was unlucky to clip the kerb and crash, along with two other riders 鈥� his race over. A trip to the medical centre revealed a suspected broken scaphoid bone in his left wrist.”

鈥淢eanwhile, Jorel Boerboom started the Sprint Race from the head of the seventh row. He didn’t get the best of starts and was circulating in 24th place through the first six laps. He did make up a couple of places in the later laps and crossed the finish line in 22nd position.

鈥淏oerboom was placed on the eighth row for the start of the Feature Race and hadn’t really had a chance to make an impact before the race was stopped for the crash involving his teammate.听

鈥淎t the restart and with the race reduced in length to 12 laps, Boerboom was determined to prove himself and after a steady start he began to pick up places until on lap eight he found himself up into the top 20. With the next group just out of reach, he maintained his position to the chequered flag to finish the race in 19th place.鈥�

Team manager Tom Fisher: 鈥淐adwell is one of those places where it all goes well or things just don’t go to plan for us! This weekend was the latter. TJ was unlucky to clip the kerb and crash. We are hopeful the wrist is not actually broken, he will know more when he goes to his local hospital for further checks. We hope to have him back on the bike for Donington Park in two weeks so he can maintain his 10th place in the championship.听听Jorel is improving with every race and managed to finish inside the top 20 with a 19th place in the Feature race. We just need to concentrate on his qualifying so he starts the race nearer to the front of the field as he has good race pace and could be finishing in a point scoring position.鈥�
