Tommy Bridewell will be aiming to return to the fight at the front of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship this weekend at Cadwell Park as the standings leader bids to add to his advantage at the top of the standings.
Bridewell has a strong record at the Lincolnshire circuit previously, including a win and ten podiums, seven of which have come in his last eight Cadwell Park races aboard Ducati machinery. He leads his BeerMonster Ducati teammate Glenn Irwin into this weekend’s round by 26.5 points ahead of the Showdown getting underway at Oulton Park.
Bridewell said: “Thruxton was a difficult weekend but also really positive for me. I expected to have lost more points to Glenn than I did. My riding style and the way I have always ridden at Thruxton has never been the best combination and Glenn has always seemed to be quite strong at Thruxton so for me to be able to match him there was a big positive. I did expect to lose more points to him at Thruxton.
“For Cadwell Park we are going back to a circuit that suits my style, a circuit that I know the bike works well at and I have had previously had some really strong results on the Ducati there and I feel like we have obviously made a massive step this year. Hopefully we can make a step forward again to previous years, and I am really looking forward to it.
“We have some electronics things to test and then really we want to get back to the way the season has been and fighting back for the wins and podiums, to build back up the points lead.”
