Tommy Bridewell was back to winning ways in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship last time out at Cadwell Park, scoring Honda Racing UK their first victory of the season and adding to his podium tally.
Bridewell was victorious in the second race, with a third place to complete the weekend and now coming into the final round of the Main Season this weekend, the 2023 champion is determined to continue climbing the standings.
Bridewell said: “While it was amazing to get the win and have a stronger weekend last time at Cadwell Park, we haven’t yet got to the point where we can be confident that we are as strong as that at every round. We’re probably more optimistic, but until we roll out, we’re not sure where we will be.
“Donington is a bit like Cadwell in that the rider plays a big part in performance, but you also need the bike to be operating strongly in every area because there’s hard braking and acceleration as well as fast, flowing sections. The weekend schedule is tough with three races on Sunday. It will be hard, but it’s not looking like it will be too hot and that’s good because mentally and physically you need to be on the ball.
“I expect to be fighting for the podium and it’s not too late to finish the season strong. After this weekend the Showdown changes things a bit, but the strong riders who have a consistently strong bike are always going to be in the best place.”
