BRIDEWELL RETURNS IN GERMANY
Following on from a broken leg sustained in the opening round
of the Italian Superbike Championship in April, Tommy Bridewell
will return to the saddle this weekend for the latest round
of the Suzuki GSX-R 750 European Cup which takes place at
the Nurburgring in Germany.
The 18 year old from Etchilhampton near Devizes in Wiltshire
underwent an operation in Italy to pin the leg straight after
the freak accident and has only just been given clearance
by his doctors to race this week, whereby he will join up
with the British Suzuki team once again.
"I tested a road bike at Castle Combe last week and
I struggled at first but after a few laps, I settled into
it and started putting some quick laps in. In the end it wasn't
a problem and I've been training my butt off and my biggest
concern at present is whether or not the bee sting I got whilst
out on my pushbike last night will clear up in time! Needless
to say, I'm really looking forward to racing again and it
will be good to meet up with Steve Booth and the team in Germany.
Hopefully, we can be challenging for a podium placing and
we can get this season back on track at last."
After the German round, Tommy will travel to Misano in Italy
at the end of the month to contest the fourth round of the
series before returning to the Italian Superbike Championship
at the same track on July 27th.
Meanwhile, British fans can look forward to seeing Bridewell
in action on home soil as he plans on contesting the Castle
Combe Superbike Grand National on August 16/17th and also,
the Suzuki GSX-R 750 European Cup will be taking place at
Donington Park in September meaning he'll be riding there
also.
