Monteblanco BSB Test Results: Tommy Bridewell heads up final day
Tommy Bridewell sets the quickest time in Monteblanco as the first British Superbike Championship pre-season test comes to a conclusion
Tommy Bridewell topped the final day of British Superbike Championship testing at Monteblanco as just five tenths covered the top ten.
The Oxford Racing Ducati rider had maintained a fairly low profile on the opening two days, but a quick time in the morning session on Friday saw his 1m 36.796s effort prove quickest of all.
Only two riders cracked into the 1m 36s bracket, with RAF Regular & Reserves Kawasaki rider Ryan Vickers impressing again to set the second fastest time.
Rich Energy OMG Racing ended a strong week as it gets to grips with its new BMW machinery with Hector Barbera and Luke Mossey turning in the third and fourth best laps, while Josh Brookes’ late improvement saw him end the test fifth best on the VisionTrack Ducati.
Danny Buchan was sixth best on the factory-supported FS-3 Racing-run Massingberd-Mundy Kawasaki, with Tarran Mackenzie, Christian Iddon, Jack Kennedy and Jason O’Halloran rounding out the top ten.
