Reigning British Superbike Champion Tommꦓy Bridewell could take his second crown this weekend at Brands Hatch.

For Bridewell, a second title clinched this weekend would mean back-to-back titles on different manufactur🥃ers, having won on Ducati last year before switching to Honda.

It’s not been a perfect transition for Bridewell, with mechanical problems hampering him at the first round at Navarra, but a consistent🍎 season — with 16 podiums from 30 races — has seen him keep himself towards the top of the championship battle and ultimately arrive at the final round well within contention.

“Heading to Brands I feel like we’ve done everything correctly all year, we’ve managed to put the season together from round one and having only ridden the bike for two days before the fir🐻st round,” Bridewell told BritishSuperbike.com on the eve of the Brands Hatch finale.

“It was always going to be a big ask with a new bi🐓k🌱e and not much time but we are right there.

“I think for me, generally, we have put together an amazing season that no one really expe🧔cted, and now we have put ourselves in a position where we are more than capable of fighting to win the championship.”

Bridewell, who won his first titജle in last year’s Brands Hatch season finale, is only four points adrift of Kyle Ryde ahead of this weekend’s final round, with 105 points up for grabs across the three races.

“Ultimately, we are just four ꦆpoints behind but, in some degree, with the points system as it is, we m⭕ay as well be level.

“The target is to just work in th🐼e same way that we have all year and d🌊o what we know we are capable of.

“We have learntꦕ a lot this year about the bike and the project has kept moving forward all year, even recently we found something new whic💫h has unlocked more potential.

“I know what is at stake and I have experience of how to handle t🎉his scenario and how best to maxꦏimise each situation that may come.”
