Ben back on the podium at Cadwell Park

That was a tough, tough weekend. The last couple of rounds have obviously been super tough for us as a whole team for both Christian and me on both sides of the garage. But I'm in really good spirits.

We fought hard at Cadwell to try and get a bike that can challenge the front two, which were on phenomenal pace all weekend. With the slight lack of track time prior to qualifying and races due to bad weather, it did make it for a tricky time for me and the team.

The second place in Saturday's race was a little bit of a gift because Jack unfortunately crashed out from second place, which actually gave us our biggest lead of the championship so far with 17 points going into Sunday.

Unfortunately, I completely messed up Sunday's race and yeah, it wasn't part of the plan, let's just say that. Where I didn't have the pace to sort of challenge all weekend, I decided that I was going to try and settle for a good podium if I could. But once I set off for the race, the racer in me came out and I felt like I could challenge, so I wanted to stick in there as long as I could. I finally had a bike underneath me that I was capable to do the job, that's just how it is with the lack of track time that we had.

The team were unbelievable to give me a bike there all of a sudden that could challenge with, and I got a little bit excited and then maybe just dropped concentration for a split second. I ran slightly wide, minimally wide, and lost the front end of the bottom of the mountain. That was that for Sunday's race. I lost a huge chunk of points again, which is massively unfortunate, but with six points back in the championship lead we are more than in this fight.

With three rounds to go, there's three of us separated by six points, which is absolutely crazy for this part of the season. It’s going to make for a really exciting finish to the championship and I'm sure people are going to absolutely love it, and to be honest I can't wait to be a part of it.

So, I'm confident the last three rounds should be good for us. And the added bit of confidence that I gained at Sunday's race to turn things around was good, so I'm really looking forward to the end of this season. Let’s keep pushing.
