Reigning MCE British Superbike Champion Shane Byrne goes into this weekend’s Knokchill round looking to extend his lead over series second-placed man Josh Brookes at the tight and demanding Scottish circuit.
Knockhill is only 1.3 miles long with only two real overtaking spots but making a error on the undulating tarmac is easy to do, so the PBM Kawasaki man knows that he cannot make mistakes as they will be punished.
“It is short, tight, and has some fun sections but it can get a bit repetitive with 30 laps, that is 30 chances to make mistakes – there is nowhere to relax, give away a tenth and you cannot pull it back. No mistakes are allowed,” said Byrne.
