JG Speedfit Kawasaki’s James Ellison has only one goal in mind for the rest of the MCE British Superbike season and that is to win as many races as possible in order to try and claim his first title in the series.

Ellison made it into the Showdown with a podium in race one at Oulton Park despite breaking his wrist only a couple of weeks beforehand. He isn’t yet 100 per cent fit but says the Oulton performance demonstrated what he is capable of.

“It has been flat out since Oulton Park as I have been trying to do everything to help with the wrist injury as it still isn’t back to normal yet, but that is unfortunately something I have to live with for now. It was hard at Oulton Park but we took the positives from that and we know what we can do and what we are capable of, so our goal is simple – we need to win as many races as possible. That will be the only way we can try and claw back the points on Josh and Shakey,” said the Kendal native.

"We need to beat them every weekend, which is not easy, but I feel we will be in a stronger position with the bike than we were last year in terms of set-up so I am feeling confident. It is probably going to take a mistake from them, but in racing anything can happen.”
