Tommy Bridewell’s update on adaptation from Ducati to Honda
"We’veꦡ made some improvements with my feeling with the Honda and understanding the bike"

🌠Tommy Bridewell has ไexplained the status of his ongoing adaptation from the Ducati to Honda.
The British Superbike champion opted to defend his title with different machinery this year, by joining Honda Ra✅cing UK.
He scored his first podium on a Hond♓a at the last BSB rou🔥nd at Oulton Park.
The third round of 🃏the 2024 British Superbike season 𝔍is this weekend at Donington Park.
“Going into this weekend, it seems t♍hat the bike works very well at Donington Park,” Bওridewell said.
“At the test, before the season had started, we had high w🎉inds and we were just working on feeling when we were there.
“I🥀t was my first ever time on the bike, but with the wind and everything against us, we were still up at the sharp end, in the top six, top seven somewhere.
“I think since the Donington Park test we’ve made some improveܫments with my feeling with the Honda and understanding the bike, and we’ve made some steps with electronics which is good.
“I think fundamentally for this weekend we sh🥂ould have a step with the engine from Oulton Park.
♉“We’ll hopefully have a little more power and we have ju𝓰st got to keep building.
“This time of the year for me is all about consolidating and building points on the board - just keep putting points on the 𒅌board! We’re in a good position and that’s what we’ve got to build on.”
Bridewell is happy 🀅with his results and performances at the first two rounds, his first outings on the Honda Fireblade.
“I think really for me in truth, the first two rounds have been a lot mo𝓀re promising than p🔴erhaps we anticipated with having a brand new bike,” he said.
“Yes, we’ve had some teething issues, but our actual pace oౠver race distance over the shorter race and over practice sessions has been really strong.
“We’ve always, every single session, been in the top four or five area consis🦋tently.
“For me, Navarra was a bigger surprise. 𝐆We had a few issues there, but obviously Oulton Park was a circuit that I know well and that I go really well 🔯at.
“It wa✤s nice to ge🌄t my first podium of the year and the first podium for Honda in a really long time. We had some slight limitations at Oulton Park, but we got absolutely every ounce out of the bike, which is the main thing.”
