Following a less than stellar race one at Silverstone, all eyes are now on MCE Ducati riders Tom Sykes and Josh Brookes heading into today’s British Superbike double-header.
'You can’t make predictions in this championship' says Glenn Irwin, as the Honda rider expects a fight back from his rivals during Sunday’s British Superbike double-header at Silverstone.
Tom Sykes says he ‘barely worked up a sweat’ to go underneath the existing British Superbike lap record at Snetterton, but still claims to be on the backfoot.
Defending British Superbike champion Tarran Mackenzie will make his first on-track appearance since suffering a broken leg at Cartagena last January, during this weekend’s official Snetterton test.
Scott Redding says his sole focus at Snetterton will be to pick up Podium Points with one eye already on the Showdown in the Bennetts British Superbike championship.
Josh Brookes says he’s optimistic heading into the 2019 Bennetts British Superbike championship opener having switched to the Be Wiser Ducati squad this winter as he gets to grips with the new V4 R.

The MCE British Superbike championship has reshaped its support classes to encourage a “development structure for upcoming young riders” with 2018 marking the start of the British Talent Cup and the Junior Supersport 300 class.
Shane Byrne has clinched an unprecedented sixth MCE British Superbike championship after a dramatic overhaul of Leon Haslam at the triple-header final round at Brands Hatch.
