Lascorz intends to chip away at Sofuoglu's lead

Just 15 points separate Spanish revelation Joan Lascorz from the top of the World Supersport points table, and with the Silverstone race just around the corner the Kawasaki Motocard.com man will be aiming to chip away at the lead of chief rival Kenan Sofuoglu.

The British round will be an unknown factor for everyone seeing as it is a totally revised track and this may play into the hands of the Turkish rider's rivals, in particular the 25 year-old from Barcelona, who was in terrific form at Brno, leading the race and then taking the chequered flag just a tenth of a second behind winner Sofuoglu.

"We could have won the race and the Kawasaki was very strong here," said Lascorz, who has won one race and finished second five times this year. "Kenan rode very well and he made a big pass on the final lap, and it left me too far behind to attack. I moved up in the championship as well, and there are still four races left so it was a good day for us."
