The Dutch round of the World Supersport Championship at the Assen circuit has been difficult for the Benjan Team with technical issues and changeable weather conditions hampering their progress at Assen.
Tomorrows 21 lap race sees Vesa Kallio and Graeme Gowland line up on the 6th and 7th rows of the grid in 21st and 27th position respectively after both riders made improvements on their lap times from the previous day in the final qualifying session which was held in dry conditions after the earlier downpour of rain before the mornings free practice session.
Graeme Gowland:
“It has just not really come together for us as we have been plagued with problems on my number one bike all weekend. I am really disappointed with the qualifying position and I have a lot of work to do in the race in order to score points.”
Vesa Kallio:
“I am happy with the lap time I did but I am not happy with the grid position as I wanted to be higher. I feel confident I can get into the points once again and maintain my 100% points scoring record so far this season.”
