GBmoto Kawasaki's James Ellison had a mixed time in the final MCE British Superbike testing session at Snetterton. On one hand he was able to improve on his race pace throughout the day - and ended the afternoon sixth fastest overall, with his best lap of 1’49.529.

But the Kendal rider lost a full session because of an electronic fault on his Kawasaki . However, Ellison is just pleased with how well he’s adapted to his new Ninja ZX-10R.

“Although we finished up closer to where I wanted to be its felt like I kept getting up to speed but maybe half a session too late. We lost a session with an electronic fault but we’ve made big gains when compared with yesterday and Donington,” said Ellison.

“I need to think about my own riding style a little to make up that last bit of time to be really competitive, but we have to remember this bike is only nine days old! I’m happy with the way we’ve kept chipping away, Chris (Walker) has been really fast and that pushes you, it’s good to have a competitive team mate.”
