Josh Brookes is determined to fight back from a disappointing Knockhill as the Bennetts British Superbike Championship returns to Snetterton this weekend (July 7/8/9) and the FHO Racing BMW Motorrad contender bids for a podium return.
Brookes had a strong start to the season and has already celebrated a double win and a further three podium finishes, but a challenging weekend at Knockhill ended with a best result of eighth and two ninth places. The double Champion is focused on bouncing back this weekend, at a circuit where the team were podium finishers last season.
Brookes said: “I am most looking forward to Snetterton, particularly off the back of poor results at Knockhill. I can’t put my finger on exactly why we didn’t get what we needed. I have gone over all the variations from the bike not working to me and my riding style after the roads. All of the options that I could see to be explored didn’t really show any conclusive evidence of why we didn’t get the results, but either way they didn’t come, so I need to get cracking again.
“I have refocused on Snetterton and we will see if we can maximise the speed of the bike and get the results happening again that we started the season with. That is what I am hoping for and trying to do.”
