HM Plant Honda's Shane Byrne knows there is no room for complacency going into this weekend's Snetterton British Superbike round despite having a 31-point lead and a healthy amount of podium credits.

The former World Superbike rider is more than a race win ahead of John Hopkins but the American tested in Norfolk last week while Byrne has only doine a handful of laps and that was with a then-new electronic system.

"Snetterton has always been a cool track; the old layout was pretty straight forward so the changes are definitely for the better. I am looking forward to it that's for sure. To win for the first time at the new track would mean quite a lot to me. I want to win every race but to do it on the new layout for myself and HM Plant Honda would certainly be something to celebrate," said Byrne.

"I know I need to keep pushing for those podiums as the credits are going to be vital for the Showdown; we have more than the others at the moment but there certainly isn't room to get complacent. When we were at Snetterton for the pre-season test we had a lot of work to do on the new electronics package, but we were still able to run good times.

"I think with the extra improvements we have made since then and the experiences we have had so far we should be up there. The HM Plant Honda Fireblade has been fast all season and there is no reason why we shouldn't come out fighting again at Snetterton this weekend."
