Thruxton BSB: Showdown fight ‘never been closer’ says Laverty

Tyco BMW’s Michael Laverty felt relieved to get back on the MCE British Superbike podium at Snetterton and heads to Thruxton this weekend full of confidence as he believes The Showdown fight has never been closer.

Laverty is only eight points behind sixth-placed man Richard Cooper and expects to be right back in the hunt when he leaves the Hampshire circuit on Sunday night.

“I don’t feel like anyone is head and shoulders above the rest week in, week out, right now. You only have to look at the points to try and be in the top six for the Showdown – it has never been closer to be in the top six since it was first introduced and that is why this stage of the season now is so important,” said the Irishman.

“I think Thruxton and then Brands Hatch GP will both be good circuits for us, which should be our opportunity to really push for the top six because I don’t want a repeat of last season where it went down to the final round before the Showdown to confirm my place.”
