Wilson re-joins Gearlink Kawasaki

Gearlink Kawasaki is delighted to announce that Ben Wilson will re-join the Gearlink Kawasaki team for the 2017 season. After sustaining horrific injuries at the NorthWest 200 last year, Ben will join Gearlink as an advisory for their three riders this season, James Westmoreland, Benjamin Currie and Andrew Irwin.

 

Ben has made huge progress with his recovery after multiple operations and surgery to fix his heavily damaged femur. He has now had the external fixator removed and is up on his feet on crutches. He still has a long road to recovery and whilst he is on the mend, Michael and Norma de Bidaph have welcomed him back to the Gearlink Kawasaki team with open arms.

 

Ben will help all three riders throughout the season with data set-up and also passing on his extensive knowledge after riding both the Supersport and Superbike machines for the team in the past.

 

Ben Wilson - "It's going to be really good to be back in the paddock again this season but it wasn't in the way that I was hoping! Michael and Norma helped me so much last year from the moment I was injured all the way through until now, I wanted to give something back to show how grateful I am for their continued support.

 

It'll be great to work with the Gearlink Kawasaki team again and help Michael push the riders forward to achieve some strong results. I know I have a lot of knowledge of the bikes and the team to be able to move things to the next level and hope we all have a very successful season."

 

The opening race of the MCE British Superbike season is this coming weekend at Donington Park.
