Can Silvester lay his Oulton ghosts to rest?
He recorded a fine points finish in the opening round at Silverstone on his return to race action after sitting out the majority of 2018 with a broken femur.
Ironically the injury resulted from a crash at Oulton Park last year and Tattershall rider Silvester will be keen to lay the ghost this time around.

“I just wanted to get home safe after seeing lots of incidents with riders clashing throughout the weekend on a very tough circuit.
“I am just happy to have finished the race in the same position as last year especially as it was on a circuit I don’t rate very highly.
“We move on to Oulton Park this weekend and I have some unfinished business there so can’t wait to get going.
