Silverstone BSB test: Brookes ‘ready to rock’ after last sector gains

Former Bennetts British Superbike Champion Josh Brookes reckons he is ‘ready to rock’ after the final two days of pre-season testing at Silverstone.

The MCE Ducati made gains in the previously troublesome final sector while also trying out a plethora of setup combinations at the short Northamptonshire track.

“It was a fairly productive test despite the weather being difficult with rain and gusty winds at times. But it’s been the same for everyone and from our side, we’ve done a lot of work with various settings and combinations,” said the Bringelly man.

“Silverstone has always been tricky for our bike, but last year, Silverstone was a good round for us. We’ve struggled in the last sector of the track in the past so that’s an area we’ve concentrated on this week and now the bike is working as good as it ever has.

“So everything is positive going into the race weekend over Easter, it’s just a case of seeing what the weather will do but I’m ready to rock.”
