Wilson is improving with every race following his comeback after three years away from racing to recover from a severe leg injury.

The new Kawasaki is still being developed but is proving to be a fast and competitive machine.

The Lincolnshire rider enjoyed a strong performance at Donington Park when he rode to eighth place in the Sprint race and followed up with a fantastic fourth position in the Feature race on Sunday.

He will be looking for more of the same this weekend.

Wilson said: “On reflection I should have gone for dry tyres all round instead of the inter on the front at Donington.

“Once it started to overheat I had to slow to conserve the tyre life.

“But I am happy enough with fourth as not far away from the podium.
