Heading into last weekend’s 2021 British Superbike season finale at Brands💎 Hatch, the goal was clear for Visiontrack Ducati rider Christian Iddon, to becom♏e champion. 

Iddon came into the final round with three podiums at Donington Park - best of the four title contenders, however, Iddon🧜 was unable to match the stunning efforts of fellow Ducati rider Tommy Bridewell and eventual series champion Tarran Mackenzie. 

Iddon finish𝐆ed two seconds b💞ehind the pair in races one and two, and while a similar margin looked set to conclude race three, Iddon was involved in a final lap crash with Danny Buchan. 

The SYNETIQ BMW rider caused ꦗcontact with Iddon heading into Paddock Hill Bend (turn one), which then led to a very unstable Iddon who was helped up 🔯by several marshals.

Iddon was later taken to t🥂he medical centre, while the crash resulte🐲d in him finishing last of the four title contenders. 

"The plan was to become British champion this weekend, a🦋nd not to end 𒈔up in the medical centre but that’s how it goes sometimes," said Iddon. 

"I honestly thought after the recent run of results and ꦫyesterday’s podium that I stood a really good chance, but I didn’t have the pace to take it to the leaders in today’s opening race and with Taz winning, tha📖t put paid to my hopes. 

"And then it all ended in disaster in the second race when I was taken out and🍰 that ꦕwas that. 

"Thanks to the team and our sponsors for all their efforts this season, it wasn’t meant to be, and congratula🅘tions to Taz and the McAMS Yamah🍌a team."
