BRIDEWELL GETS EIGHTH IN ITALY
After a tentative return from injury at the previous round
of the Suzuki GSX-R 750 European Cup in Germany two weeks
ago, British teenager Tommy Bridewell defied the heat to record
a battling eighth place finish at Misano today.
After some technical problems in qualifying saw him languishing
down in 14th place on the grid, the 18 year old from Etchilhampton
near Devizes in Wiltshire battled through the field after
breaking his leg in April and despite a couple of minor errors,
eventually took a fine top eight finish at the Italian circuit.
Tommy Bridewell:
"I'm happy enough with that as with only ten laps to
get stuck into, it was all I could do to climb that high and
maybe a couple more laps and I could have gained a few more
places. It was a good test for my leg and it stood up fine
but I could have done with being a little further up the grid.
I should be on it at the next round at Donington in front
of my home crowd but for now, I'm off testing the Superbike
as we have a couple of rounds of the Italian Championship
to fit in before then."
