WIN BSB TICKETS!

By Donington Park Hosts BSB Showdown! - 04/09/2011

The 2011 MCE British Superbike Championship has been an action-packed and gripping battle so far, and it‘s about to get even more exciting!

One of the most crucial rounds of the year takes place at Donington Park from September 9-11, one of three circuits hosting the season climax known as the Showdown, where the top six riders will compete on almost equal footing for the championship title.

Swan Yamaha‘s Tommy Hill has a seven point advantage ahead of the final seven races of the season, as his double win at Cadwell Park edged him ahead of HM Plant Honda‘s Shane 'Shakey' Byrne who is vying for a third crown. However John Hopkins will return from injury on the Samsung Crescent Racing Suzuki and the former MotoGP ace will be determined to return to the podium after being sidelined through injury at Cadwell Park.

Just two points then separate the final three Title Fighters, as Michael Laverty on the second Swan Yamaha has a narrow one point advantage over Relentless Suzuki by TAS rider Josh Brookes, who is separated by the same margin from defending champion Ryuichi Kiyonari.

Championship leader Tommy Hill says: “It feels good to be leading the championship standings into the Showdown but this is racing and we know how fast things can change. The last time I rode at Donington Park was in 2007 but we know that we have a strong package with the Swan Yamaha and we are full of confidence ahead of the event. I am taking the Showdown race by race and we need to remain consistent... but not too consistent as every point is crucial and we need to be finishing ahead of the other Title Fighters to maintain our position.”�
