Josh Brookes is determined to continue his podium finishing form ahead of this weekend’s third round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship at Donington Park for the FHO Racing BMW Motorrad Team.
Brookes has celebrated two victories already this season as he returned to winning ways at both Silverstone and Oulton Park, putting him to within four points of Glenn Irwin at the top of the title chase ahead of this weekend. Now the double Champion is eager to replicate that form again this weekend in a bid to maintain his position near the top of the standings.
Brookes said: “The energy is positive as we head to Donington Park this weekend. We had a test there before the start of the season, which although was predominantly wet, it did show key indications that we would have good pace.
“Obviously, we had the two opening rounds where we showed we have the speed and the potential to run at the front, not only for wins but also podiums, and I think the strong form we started the season with can continue into the weekend.
“We did slightly underperform at Oulton Park, as we went the wrong way with set-up, but we’re not focussing too much on that as we know the potential to have good results is there.”
