Inside World Supersport: Meet Fraser Rogers

Meet Fraser Rogers, WSS rider, and new blogger at MoreBikes.co.uk. He’ll be brining us the latest behind-the-scenes updates from his life as a racer.

Warm up…

The warm up was good – I was on an old tyre from qualifying and still able to match my best times of the weekend which I was pleased with. My riding of the 600 was improving and I felt more confident/comfortable every session! At the end of this session the tyre had completed race distance but I was still able to put in good lap times which gave us a confidence boost for the race.
Race…
The race was challenging. I was struggling to get the bike stopped into turn 4 – I ran on about 3 times costing me positions and time from the riders in front! I was experiencing a lot of sliding at the rear of the bike, and I wasn’t able to open gas full soon enough. The race got red flagged part way through due to an engine failure leaving oil on the track.

The restart was only 5 laps. It was a sprint race – we knew there was no time for mistakes and had to push hard giving it 110%! We made some changes which helped massively, and lap times were better again. Unfortunately a silly mistake on the last lap cost me a position and there wasn’t enough time to regain it!

I finished P15 and in the points – Both myself and the team are delighted with the result!!!  We now face additional hurdles as we prepare for Round 2…
