Visiontrack Ducati's Christian Iddon is looking for a stable platform from which to launch his 2021 Bennetts British Superbike title assault and wants a good haul of points at Oulton this weekend to do it from.

Iddon scored multiple podiums on the Panigale V4R at his home track last season and will be confident of doing so again when the lights go out this weekend.

“I’m really excited to get racing again although it’s very disappointing we won’t have a full contingent of spectators for this round, especially with it traditionally being my local track," said Iddon.

'But I’ll be doing my best to put on a good show for those at Oulton Park as well as those watching on television and listening on BSB Radio. I feel much more relaxed on the bike than I did last year so hopefully we can make that count and kick the season off well.

"A good haul of points is important at round one to give us a stable platform for the season ahead.”

The action kicks off on Friday so check back for all the news, gossip, times and results from the season opener.
