Josh Brookes is heading into the Thruxton round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship this weekend (August 11/12/13) ready to bounce back from a disappointing event last time out at Brands Hatch.
The FHO Racing BMW Motorrad rider still holds fourth place in the standings as he heads to one of his favorite circuits on the calendar, bidding to return to the podium at a circuit where he has been victorious previously.
Brookes said: “I still feel a little wounded after the results of Brands Hatch, but it will soon be in the past. Thruxton has always been a track I like to go to, in fact it is one of my favourites of anywhere in the world as it is a very unique track.
“On that note I am looking forward to it, but my last two visits have been disappointing and the results haven’t come so I haven’t enjoyed the positions I have finished and that has put a spoiler on a track that I have had good feelings about. But this is a new year, with a new motorbike so we will see how it goes. I don’t want to put any expectations on this event, I just want to arrive and see what it has on offer for me.”
