BRIDEWELL IN THE POINTS AT NURBURGRING
After a couple of months out with a broken leg, Tommy Bridewell
returned to track action with a battling thirteenth place
in the latest round of the Suzuki GSX-R 750 European Cup which
took place at the Nurburgring in Germany today.
The 18 year old from Etchilhampton near Devizes in Wiltshire
had to overcome his lack of knowledge of the track and the
cold weather which affected his leg to score points for the
second time this season and following on from four wild card
riders in front of him, Tommy ended up in ninth place points
overall.
Speaking afterwards he said: "I was a little nervous
coming into the race, and I really struggled in practice but
it wasn't too bad in the race. My main problem was adapting
back to the bike after a couple of races on the superbike
and that's something I need to work on. Overall I'm happy
with the result on my return but I need to be challenging
much higher up the order as there's no point wobbling around
in the lower leaderboard places. We'll see how we go at Misano
in two weeks time and hopefully, things will go better for
us."
After the race in Misano in Italy, Tommy will return to the
Italian Superbike Championship at the same track on July 27th.
