Solid weekend for Joe Collier at Cadwell British Supersport

Joe Collier and the One Call JJR Triumph had solid weekend at round eight of the MCE British Supersport Championship at Cadwell Park. The youngster from Leicestershire made a lot of improvements this weekend and finished the two races with a 12th and ninth place respectively.It was another circuit where the One Call team had to find a set-up to suit the very tricky Cadwell Park track. The practice sessions were hard for Joe but they persevered making changes and he was able to have a steady qualifying and placed 16th on the grid for the Sprint race on Sunday. Joe got a good start and was 13th at the end of the opening lap; he worked hard for the 12 lap race and was able to finish in 12th place.For race two Joe started from 15th and he got another great start and was up to 13th at the end of the opening lap. Joe once again is always strong over a race distance and he was able to make up good ground throughout the 16-lap race. He moved up to a top ten position on lap 10 and continued to push forward to secure ninth at the end of the race.Joe Collier - "It is always really hard to go to a circuit with no data and I feel like we are always on the back foot trying to sort everything in two practice sessions on the first day. It then has a knock on effect to qualifying as I am still trying to find a good, comfortable set-up and end up with a lower grid position that I would have liked.Luckily I've always been a racer and I know I am fit and am capable of a good race pace. I got two really good starts which did give me more of a chance to be fighting for some half decent positions.My confidence is certainly building again and we are definitely making some progress forwards. I must thank all my personal sponsors for being so patient with me for the results to come but we are certainly making good improvements and now taking things forward.Also thank you to all the people that help over the weekend and help put me in the situation to be allowed to race. I can't wait to get to Oulton Park as it is one of my favourite circuits and I hope we can have a really strong end to the year."
