After a difficult weekend at Thruxton Christian Iddon believes 'it's all to play for' at Cadwell Park.
It was a damage limitation weekend for Christian Iddon at Thruxton. Despite a difficult weekend Iddon did manage to hold on to third place in the British Superbike standings.
The Oxford Products Racing Ducati rider is ready to take on Cadwell Park this Bank Holiday weekend. Iddon is 35 points behind Tommy Bridewell in the standings and is hoping for an easier weekend than at Thruxton.
Reflecting on Thruxton Iddon said: “Thruxton was difficult. We thought it might be before the weekend but I had hoped that it wouldn’t!
"We actually got reasonably fortunate with the two results in race one and two; I felt really good in the first race actually, I felt the bike underneath me and it was good, but come Sunday I think the temperature really hurt us.
"Thankfully because the first race was so short because of everything that went on it sort of saved our bacon a bit, but the final race showed the reality of the situation. It was a difficult weekend, but strangely we didn’t lose massively to the front of the championship."
Iddon continued by previewing Cadwell Park: “Going to Cadwell Park and it’s all to play for, going back to a more normal track, if you can call Cadwell a more normal track! We should have the full crew back, which is also a big thing for us.
"It didn’t go horrendously wrong at Thruxton, but certainly from a feeling and a confidence point of view, I want to get back to a track where I can feel the bike underneath me again and ride the Ducati the way it needs to be ridden, which is incredibly difficult to do at Thruxton!”
