MOTORCYCLING: Aaron aiming for return to podium

Knockhill in Scotland plays host to the British Superbike Championship this weekend when two Draper Racing riders will be seeking more strong points finishes.

Kirton’s Aaron Clarke will be contesting the sixth round of the Superstock 600 Championship and Tommy Philp has two races in the fifth round of the British Supersport class.

Clarke enjoyed his first podium finish at Snetterton just two weeks ago when he rode to a very close second place.

Philp will be hoping his run of top seven results continues north of the border.

Meanwhile, G&S Racing Kawasaki riders Milo Ward and Ben Luxton are racing in the National Superstock 600 Championship.

Team-mate Tom Fisher takes a rain check from his Superstock 1000 round because of a family function at home.

Ward enjoyed a strong result of fifth in the last round at Snetterton and Luxton - in his first race following his return to the team - had a good ride in seventh place so he will be looking to build on that at Knockhill.
