By Leading international road racing cast members had differing results across the 2024 Thruxton British Superbike Championship, support Championships round.
Northwest 200 wins record-holder Alastair Seeley returned to the rostrum finishers circle, via a tenacious run to third in the Supersport Sprint race.
Honda Racing UK’s Dean Harrison, surprisingly not astride customary SBK tackle, re-joined the Supersport fray and secured top eight finishes times two.
Senior TT winner Davey Todd, had his Superstock 1000 Championship lead trimmed back to just four points (Joe Talbot top challenger), following fifth, ninth place finishes.
Josh Brookes, Peter Hickman featured much more prominently at the sharp end of BSB races than at Brands Hatch but ultimately did not seal podium finishes with 2017 Senior Classic TT winner Brookes taking the FHO Racing BMW team’s best result (P4 – Superbike Race Two).
For NW200 lap record holder Glenn Irwin, the weekends’ action was it’s fair to say character building with the Hager PBM Ducati rider ending with a top finish of fourteenth.
Interviewed post-race on Eurosport, Irwin sounded confident that his BSB title dream remains a firm probability.
Derek Sheils assigned the two-plate for this month’s RST Classic Superbike Manx Grand Prix, was a respectable eighth in the main F900R BMW Cup race-contest.
Nathan Harrison, KTS Racing’s Jamie Coward joined Sheils in attaining fair bulks of mileage before reacquainting themselves this week with the unparalleled, fabled, mythical Mountain Course.
