MCE British Superbike Championship contender James Ellison believes his challenge for the 2015 title is not yet over but says he will be taking the next two rounds on a race by race basis - starting with Silverstone this weekend.

The JG Speedfit Kawasaki man, who is joined this weekend by Supersport champion-elect Luke Stapleford, is still not 100 per cent fit but that didn’t stop him taking a brace of podiums at the Assen round last time out.

“I was really pleased with Assen, I’m still not 100% fit yet and am still getting some grief from the wrist but to be able to walk away with two podiums was mega. Silverstone proved a good weekend last year, again I was struggling with the injury from Brands but the bike was working really well and we made our return to the podium. I’m confident that with the improved package we have this year, then the podium is definitely possible,” said Ellison.
 
I’m not thinking of the Championship just yet, we have to take each race as it comes. If we can get two good results this weekend then I’ll be really pleased, Josh is riding superbly at the moment so obviously he’s our first goal to beat. The Showdown isn’t over yet and I know the team will be doing everything to ensure we’re in the best possible shape come Sunday.”
