Hannspree Ten Kate Honda rider Kenan Sofuoglu went to the top of the championship standings after the Brno meeting earlier this month, riding through the pain of a badly gashed left elbow. He enjoys a 15-point championship lead now, making all his pain and effort in the Czech Republic worthwhile.
His intention at the Silverstone round is simple, to extend his championship lead still more, to put the psychological pressure on his opponents before the start of the long summer break.
With his injury almost completely healed, Silverstone is next up for Kenan. The 2007 champion stated, "Since the really tough Brno weekend I have been relaxing at home to give my arm a chance to heal. It's almost ready for Silverstone, where I really want to win again and continue the push over the last four races of the season. The circuit is not a favourite of mine and in the really bad conditions three years ago; I crashed at the first corner. The new circuit layout looked really nice when I watched the MotoGP race and it looks as though it will suit the CBR600RR, so I will try to get the maximum points that I can. I know my team will work as hard as they can to give me the best bike possible to do the job and I will try to reward them with the best result possible. We will see how it goes at the weekend, but I am really looking forward to it."
