Lichfield rider Gary Mason was forced to endure a “frustrating” weekend in the British Superbikes championship.

The MSS Colchester Kawasaki team had been confident of a strong showing at the Snetterton track where the enjoyed positive pre-season testing, but both bikes were hit by tyre wear issues.

In the end, Mason clocked two 11th place finishes, while team-mate Alex Lowes finished 16th in race one and was forced out of the follow-up.

Mason said:

> “It’s been a frustrating weekend. The team is a lot stronger than this and so am I, but for some reason it just hasn’t clicked at the Snetterton 300\. It’s been one of ‘those meetings’, which is frustrating.

> “I’m improving, the bike is improving, but we had some niggles that held us back. Luckily the next round is Oulton, which is a track I love. We got good points, but I want more than that and hope to come back much stronger at the next round and secure a place in the Showdown.”
