The fourth round of the World Supersport Championship has been one that the Benjan Racing team would like to forget after a demanding weekend with technical and suspension issues.
Fin Vesa Kallio crossed to finish line in 18th at the Assen circuit after a three rider battle in the latter stages of the race for 16th with Praia and Salom. Kallio who was in 23rd on the opening lap had fought his way up to 17th but was relegated on the final lap by Praia.
Graeme Gowland, who had qualified down in 27th, finished behind his team mate in 19th after hard fought battle with Giansanti in the second half off the race after been down the order in 25th for the first 8 laps of this 21 lap race at the Dutch circuit.
Vesa Kallio: “I have really big problems with the suspension and the race was really hard as the rear was all over the place. So we definitely need to make changes to the rear shock before the next round.”
Graeme Gowland: “We have had technical problems all weekend so we are happy with the result considering the circumstances. This weekend has been really tough so I will now put it behind me and focus on the next round at Monza in two weeks.”
