Worx Suzuki's Michael Rutter reckons he is capable of standing on the British Superbike podium at Knockhill this weekend after finding a good front end setup at Snetterton.

Even though the Midlander didn't capitalise on the new feel at the Norfolk track, Rutter says that the GSX-R1000 has all the right attributes to run at the front all weekend.

“We made great progress with the set-up at Snetterton, although as that wasn’t reflected in the results few would know. But coming to Knockhill it’s an all new game," he said.

"I love Knockhill and I showed that last year by standing on the podium. You see, this place is short and tight yet because of the start straight and the sweeping run into the hairpin it still has a very fast lap speed, around 95mph.

"So you need a bike that you can confidently turn very very quickly but also has a super-strong motor. The GSX-R1000 has all of this. So, no question, I’m looking to qualify front row and make the podium this weekend.”
