The challenge for the WSS title resumes at Silverstone


The Turk was 5th last year on the English track, after an outstanding recovery following an early run-off into the gravel, while local rider Lowes was edged by his then PTR team mate Jules Cluzel at the chequered flag by only 0.157 seconds.


Frenchman Fabien Foret (Mahi Racing Team India Kawasaki) aims to mix it up front, as does Suzuka 8 Hours winning team member Michael van der Mark (Pata Honda World Supersport). Despite the injuries sustained after finding himself involuntarily involved in Andrea Antonelli's crash in Moscow, and the shock after it, Lorenzo Zanetti will be on track this weekend at Silverstone to race for his departed rival and friend.


Former British Supersport stars and WSS rookies Jack Kennedy (Rivamoto Honda) and Christian Iddon (ParkinGo MV Agusta Corse) are hoping for a strong performance on a track they both know very well. David Salom (Intermoto Ponyexpres Kawasaki) rejoins team mate Luca Scassa after missing the last round in what has been so far a very tough season (the Spaniard has only two races under his belt in 2013).


The AARK Racing Team has decided to switch to Honda for the rest of the season, meaning Australian Mitchell Carr will be riding a CBR600RR - after competing with a Triumph Daytona 675 for eight rounds.
