Foret podium at Silverstone

Fabien Foret took his fifth podium finish in six races at Silverstone today in round eight of the World Supersport championship at Silverstone in the UK.

The race was won by series leader Chaz Davies, with Spain's David Salom finishing just ahead of Foret in second.

Foret started from the second row of the grid but the French ace dropped some places at the start and had to fight his way to the front of the field. He led for two laps before a false neutral on Silverstone's back straight saw him drop to third.

Fabien Foret - third

Well it wasn't the result we wanted, but the weekend has been quite difficult, so I'll take it. I feel a bit sorry for the team though, because I didn't really do the best race here and had the wrong tyre. I wasn't 100% happy with the setting either, but I made some mistakes too, so it wasn't great. We didn't really find what we wanted on the bike and I'm sorry I couldn't get a better result for the team.
