SWINDON Robin Bradley Wilson-Dean is looking for helping hand as he hopes to make an impact on the international scene.

The 22-year-old is appealing for sponsors to cover travel costs as he makes a trip to Abenserg, Germany, for a GP qualifier.

Wilson-Dean is therefore asking for help as he predicts the mammoth journey will cost roughly £1000 on the road.

The Kiwi is desperate to compete in the qualifier as he sees it as the perfect chance to test his ability on the world stage.

“It’s a massive thing for me and my county as well because it’s basically me and a couple of boys from the Championship,” he said.

“Even though I’m not quite at that level, I’m looking to progress, so I want to go there and at least give it my best.

“I’d like to get a few points on the board, maybe get a race win, but I just want to give my best for my country. That’s what it is all about.”

With the Robin being so determined to do well in Germany on Monday, he admits it would be a shame to see cost hamper his progress.

“There is a lot of silly cost like you have to have a special insurance when I already have my own my own race insurances,” added Wilson-Dean. “Obviously then there is the fuel and then the accommodation, people don’t realise there is a massive amount of cost.

“I don’t see anything wrong with putting it out there and asking if they want to help me out. It’s not just a thing for myself, it is a team thing for my whole country.

“I’ve already had lots of people from New Zealand say they will give me $50 or $100 and that will help massively.

“Even from people here I’ve had a few hundred thrown my way and it doesn’t matter to them how I finish in a grand prix qualifier for New Zealand.

“It’s an expensive sport and you spend a lot. You spend around £20,000 at the start of the season and if it wasn’t for my sponsors, I would never be able to come over.

“I’m not complaining because I love coming over and racing but it is hard work, especially for those who are only riding in one league.

“We don’t get enough money for what we do, we put our lives on the line every time we go out there.”
