The Staffordshire race ace, who rides for Black Country-based team Bathams AJN Racing, was third in race one when he suffered an unfortunate crash.

Not only did that take him out of that race, he was out of position for the following two races as a result - though he did fight back for a doubles points finish ahead of going to the Netherland this weekend.

Stacey said: “Obviously Cadwell Park was disappointing results-wise after practice and qualifying had gone well.

“However, race three was very enjoyable and we were lapping at the same pace as the leaders after I had worked myself back in to the top 10, and the bike felt the best it has all season.

“Assen was a bit cruel to us last year with the changeable weather conditions and a red flag in race one for heavy rain - when I was the only one on wet weather tyres.

“Anyway, hopefully we can pick up where we left off at Cadwell and get three decent results plus of course I’m looking forward to seeing all the Dutch fans, especially if they’ve got top hats on!”
