Tyco Suzuki's Josh Brookes thinks he won't have any trouble adapting back to short circuit racing at this weekend's Knockhill British Superbike round after his record-breaking performance at the Isle of Man TT.
The Bringelly man raised eyebrows on the island when he obliterated Steve Plater's newcomer record with a lap of 127.736mph on his way to tenth in the Superbike race - his first ever on Mona's Isle.
"It might take me a couple of laps to get my eye back in but I should have no trouble adapting back to short circuits. After all, that's what I have been doing for the past ten years. I think getting acclimatised to the speed the other way round was the big thing," said Brookes, speaking to bikesportnews.com this lunchtime.
