MWR Kawasaki have drafted in Australian Supermoto star Ben Nicolson to race in this weekend's Metzeler National Superstock 100 round at Silverstone.

The Aussie Pro-Stock series regular hasn't raced in Britain before and will fly back to his homeland after this weekend and then jump back on a plane for the final round at Brands Hatch in a fortnight.

"It’s great to be able to have the opportunity to come and race over here and a big thank you must go out to MWR Kawasaki for making this happen. It’s the first time I’ve raced outside of Australia and I’m looking forward to getting out on at Silverstone and hopefully repaying the team with a good result. I also could not have done this without the huge support from my family and sponsors back in Australia," he said.
