Milwaukee Yamaha’s Tommy Bridewell acknowledges he can’t win the MCE British Superbike title at Brands Hatch this weekend but has set his sights on ousting team-mate Josh Brookes from third place in the points table.

Three non-finishes in four races for the Aussie have seen Bridewell’s solid scores take him to only two points behind the Bringelly rider and Bridewell is desperate to get ahead before the season ends.

"There is a lot at stake at Brands Hatch, we can't win the title but we can certainly take third in the championship and we certainly want to finish as high as possible. I need to maximise on the weekend at Brands Hatch and with three races we will be giving it everything,” said Bridewell.

"There are always lots of different emotions before the last round of the season, but I can't wait for it now really. We were strong on the GP circuit earlier in the season and it was only a brake issue that cause a DNF when we could have been fighting for the podium. It is one of those tracks where I have always had to work hard all through the weekend and then we have come strong on raceday.”
