Ryan Vickers celebrated his first Bennetts British Superbike Championship podium finish at Donington Park and after a recent test at Knockhill, the LAMI OMG Racing Yamaha rider is buzzing to get back on track next weekend (June 16/17/18).
Vickers had his strongest weekend so far of the season last time out, and with a positive test ahead of the annual round in Scotland, he is confident that the team can carry the momentum into the next races.
Vickers said: “We had amazing weather for the Knockhill test and it was really hot with over 50 degrees track temperature! We managed to do over a hundred laps and I really felt good on the bike straight away – we didn’t have to change much from Donington Park which is always a good thing.
“I feel like we have a really good base setting now, so we went to the Knockhill test with a few things to try out as we didn’t have too much testing in the UK when we came back from Spain, so we were a bit behind on that.
“We got through a few items that we wanted to back-to-back and that answered a few questions and gave us and confirmed the direction we were going in so I am really happy with that so thanks to the team as they have done a great job ready for Knockhill.
“I am really excited for the round now; I have always liked racing at Knockhill especially if the sun is shining! It is great fun and a really technical little circuit, and it gives great racing as the times are always so tight. Me and Kyle were both strong; I did my fastest ever time around Knockhill so I am all happy and excited to get going and look forward to the round.”
