Josh Brookes and Milwaukee Yamaha target final podium points ahead of the Showdown
Milwaukee Yamaha’s Josh Brookes leads the MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship standings as the team arrive in Cheshire for the triple-header ninth round of the season at Oulton Park.
Brookes has celebrated victory in the last six consecutive races and the Australian is gunning for the final three wins to secure the final 15 podium points available before the Showdown.
Josh Brookes –Â “We are in a good position and we are all going out to do the best we can, but for sure it is good for me to have the run of success that we have had as that all helps the preparation.
“When we were at Oulton Park last the bike was still in the early stages of development and we have moved on a lot since then so I hope that the bike is even more impressive this weekend. We are also expecting some upgrades with a new exhaust so that could add something too.
“I am focused on what I need to do and this round will be critical for a few riders for the Showdown but at the same time everyone has been doing their best all year. For some riders there is more to win or lose this weekend so we need to try and keep ahead.”
