WELLINGTON motorcycle racer Bradley Richman is raring to go on his Hel Performance Kawasaki Stock 600 machine, as the official British Superbike support class test day takes place at Silverstone today.

All the pre-season track days at circuits recently will prove to be invaluable as he makes his first appearance at the official test in preparation for the upcoming first round.

After some wet sessions at Oulton Park at the end of June, where it rained for most of the day, Bradley said: “I got some really good laps in as I do enjoy riding in the wet. The Hel Performance Kawasaki was mega and handled awesome again, so massive thanks to Steve from Hel.”

However, after the official test at Silverstone, he’s not stopping preparations with more track days booked at the end of this month at Snetterton. He’s going to make sure he is as bike-fit as possible ahead of the opening round at Donington on August 7-9 and he cannot wait.

But in the meantime, Bradley said: “I really want to thank Hel Performance for continuing to support me during these difficult times, as well as my personal sponsors/friends at Specialist Lifting Solutions, The Carb Shop, HM Motors and Brendon Roofing, but above all thanks to my dad for working so hard to keep me racing, as so much goes on behind the scenes. I hope to see you all soon.”|Kerry Rawson
