Tommy Bridewell has set 'achievable goals' for the penultimate round of the British Superbike Championship.

This weekend marks the penultimate round of the 2025 British Superbike Championship at Oulton Park, and Tommy Bridewell has 'higher expectations' than he did in May.

When the British Superbike paddock visited Oulton Park earlier in the year, the 2023 Champion had a difficult weekend as he finished in sixth and tenth places for the Honda Racing UK squad.

Since the opening round of the season, Bridewell has won a race and featured on four podiums at Cadwell Park, Snetterton, and Knockhill. He is now hopeful that some adverse weather conditions could aid his results across the weekend.

"Aragón ticked the boxes that I needed to tick and we made the sort of progress through the weekend that I was aiming for," Bridewell said.

"Now it’s back to Oulton Park and the weather’s looking a bit iffy, but the challenge with a wet race is if a dry line starts to appear. It’s tricky because unless it rains consistently through the race, you can need full wets for the first ten laps and then need intermediates once the standing water clears, and in the meantime, you’ve got to keep the bike the right way up! It’s the same for everyone, ultimately, but it’s certainly a challenge.

"I’m looking forward to Oulton Park because I’ve got a much better handle on the bike, we’re working in a better window and in a better direction, so I have a lot higher expectations from when we were there in May.

"It’s not notoriously the strongest circuit for Honda, and we’ve got to be realistic, but we’re setting achievable goals to maintain the same work ethic and focus as we had in Assen. If we can maintain that positivity, who knows, wet weather may help us."

Bridewell's weekend started on a positive note as he was able to end Free Practice One in second place in the wet conditions.
