Guisborough's Milwaukee Yamaha aim to make mark at Oulton Park


Josh Brookes and Tommy Bridewell will bid for the top step of the podium at Oulton Park




Guisborough's Milwaukee Yamaha team are targeting their first victory of the MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship season this weekend as Josh Brookes and Tommy Bridewell bid for the top step of the podium at Oulton Park.


Brookes scored his first podium finish with the team at the Brands Hatch opening round after claiming pole while Bridewell is geared up to turn around his fortunes after a disappointing start.


Brookes said: “Brands Hatch was good for us apart from the obvious crashes, but now we are ready for Oulton Park.


“I have seen from previous years how strong the Yamaha is around that track, especially from the years racing against Tommy Hill - it is set in stone in my memory.


“I want to be able to emulate that pace and speed this weekend and that is the aim. Normally a few crashes on the same weekend would hinder your confidence, but it hasn’t knocked it at all.”


And Bridewell said: “Brands Hatch wasn’t an ideal start for me but we have had the chance to reflect on that now and have looked at all the angles ready for Oulton Park.


“If you look at previous years and who won eventually, the results at the first round didn’t affect the championship.


“I feel better about Oulton Park and I look at the success the team have had there previously and that is a huge positive for us before we get started.


“The first round didn’t go as well as I had hoped but Oulton Park is more a territory that should be good for us.”
