Peter Hickman says there is greater pressure on the bunch of riders aiming to take his spot in the Bennetts British Superbike Showdown and is optimistic of a strong showing at Silverstone.

As the closest contender outside of the Showdown spots, Danny Buchan says he’ll use his previous experience in pressurised races to ‘play it smart’ in his bid to grab a top six place at Silverstone.

Josh Brookes says given the ‘disappointing’ progress to his 2018 Bennetts British Superbike championship his sole focus remains on victories between now and the end of the season while he won’t consider a conservative approach to reach the top six spots at Silverstone.

With Glenn Irwin on the cusp of securing a Bennetts British Superbike Showdown spot, the Be Wiser Ducati rider is eager to repeat his Silverstone showing from 12 months ago when he clinched his maiden race win.

Tom Neave will fill in for the injured Chrissy Rouse at the Movuno.com Halsall Racing Suzuki squad for the Silverstone round.

The Bennetts British Superbike championship will use Silverstone’s National circuit for its three-race Showdown decider following track issues which forced the cancellation of the British MotoGP round last weekend.

Bradley Ray made his Bennetts British Superbike championship rostrum return for the first time since the second round with a pair of second places at Cadwell Park to breathe life into his campaign.

Jake Dixon says his only target is claiming the last Podium Points next time out at Silverstone having secured his Bennetts British Superbike Showdown spot with a round to spare at Cadwell Park.

Leon Haslam saw off a fierce last-lap battle against Jake Dixon to secure a key double victory at Cadwell Park as he strengthened his grip on the Bennetts British Superbike championship title.

Bradley Ray concedes his mid-season lull has been triggered by pushing too hard and feels his calmer approach to the Cadwell Park round has shown its worth with pole position.

Leon Haslam suffered a re-emergence of his backshifter issue during the opening session in qualifying but didn’t let it phase him to secure a front row start for the opening Cadwell Park race.

Jason O’Halloran concedes his fitness at the physical Cadwell Park circuit “is still a bit of an known” but having battled for podium positions last time out at Thruxton sees no reason why he can’t fight at the front this weekend.

Leon Haslam says he’s targeting wins and the Cadwell Park lap record this weekend having lost his long-standing record to Lee Jackson 12 months ago at the Lincolnshire circuit.

Josh Brookes feels his progress in the 2018 Bennetts British Superbike championship means he's on course to catch runaway leader Leon Haslam with two rounds before the Showdown kicks in.

Josh Brookes says key set-up and gearing changes to his McAMS Yamaha for race two at Thruxton provided him with the pace to clear off from the chasing pack to return to winning ways.

Peter Hickman has produced one of the performances of the season to secure a double podium at Thruxton to ignite his Bennetts British Superbike championship top six charge after spending the night in hospital with a kidney infection.

Smiths Racing BMW has confirmed Peter Hickman has been taken to hospital as a precaution after falling ill following qualifying at Thruxton and is a doubt for today’s races.
