Stapleford said: “I’m really excited for Cadwell Park after getting a little run out recently on the bike. It gave me a chance to familiarise myself with a few bits so we can start as comfortable as possible on the race weekend.

“It’ll be a challenge with the level that BSB is currently at, but I’m under no pressure from the team and hopefully we can build over the weekend and get some positive results.

“I’d like to thank the team for thinking of me and giving me the opportunity to stand in. I’m really looking forward to meeting and working with the whole team next weekend.”
