JW Racing's James Westmoreland nabbed another British Supersport podium on Monday despite having to run a different compound tyre to the rest of the field and struggling with setup.

The youngster couldn't quite keep series leader Steve Plater behind him in the closing stages but the rostrum spot has moved him to third in the championship ahead of the unfortunate Ben Wilson.

"That was a good race to be honest. We have struggled to get the bike working perfectly for this track all weekend and we had to use the hard compound tyre instead of the soft compound which our rivals could make work," said Westy.

"To be still on the podium at my home race is a great result and it has moved me into third place in the Championship. The gap to Steve in the Championship has increased but there are still three rounds to go, and anything can happen so I will go to Croft and try and win."
