MILWAUKEE YAMAHA READY FOR FINAL BRANDS HATCH SHOWDOWN

The Milwaukee Yamaha team head to Brands Hatch in Kent this weekend for the triple-header final round of the MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship.

Josh Brookes and Tommy Bridewell currently hold third and fourth place in the overall standings respectively and are separated by just two points ahead of the final three races of the season. The pair are ready to come out fighting to add to their combined five wins and 11 podiums so far this year.

Brookes said: “My thoughts on Brands Hatch are to try and recover some personal satisfaction after what has happened at the end of this season, so looking to the weekend all I can do now is come out and try to achieve the best three results possible in the final races. That is the same objective that I have had at every round, as you always go out to win, but now I can only try and get the last three wins of the season as the championship is done for me. Brands Hatch needs to be about me having a good weekend with positive results.”

Bridewell said: “There are always lots of different emotions before the last round of the season, but I can’t wait for it now really. We were strong on the GP circuit earlier in the season and it was only a brake issue that cause a DNF when we could have been fighting for the podium. It is one of those tracks where I have always had to work hard all through the weekend and then we have come strong on raceday.

“There is a lot at stake at Brands Hatch, we can’t win the title but we can certainly take third in the championship and we certainly want to finish as high as possible. I need to maximise on the weekend at Brands Hatch and with three races we will be giving it everything.”
