“I’m really looking forward to getting stuck in this weekend. Snetterton was a bit of a rubbish weekend for us with everything going wrong, but it’s better to have those things happen in the main season than in the Showdown. By the end of the weekend we were in a good place and Race 3 was our strongest so we left in a good position. This year is completely different for me, we’ve approached things in a different way to ensure we can have the strongest bike possible for the three showdown rounds and I genuinely believe we are in a strong position with that. After two rounds off the podium, my aim is to enjoy riding the bike and get back on the top step and if we can do that over the next two rounds, we should be there or thereabouts at Brands Hatch.”

“For me this weekend is a bit of an unknown, I had a really good round at Oulton this time last year with a win and two podiums but this year, I missed the first round there through injury so I’m not too sure what to expect! It’s a circuit I enjoy and we made some great progress with the bike there in 2021, which led to my first Oulton win. We’re taking the Showdown round by round, to be in the fight is exciting as at one point I wondered whether I’d even make the Showdown given my injuries. The aim, as always, is to walk away with three strong results, it’s the first round of the season where you get proper points rather than podium points. All I know is I feel like I’m riding better than I ever have, the bike is in a great position and sort of like last year, there’s not really any pressure!”

“I’m excited to get to Oulton Park this weekend. The podium at Snetterton was a real boost for the whole team after the year we’ve had, so hopefully the upward trend will continue. We learned a lot about the bike at Oulton earlier in the year, so I’m looking forward to putting that into practise this weekend and looking to end the year on a high.”

“So far in 2022 we have won more races than any other team this year, so in theory if we can continue that in the Showdown then we should be in a strong place at the end of it! Jason has taken a bit of a different approach this year and we are confident it will pay off. For Tarran to be so close after missing the first two rounds is fantastic, we know that our bike can be strong over the final three rounds but that means we know our competition will be strong too! There is a very long way to go and I think BSB fans are in for a very exciting final three rounds!”
