TOMMY HILL TARGETS WINNING RETURN TO OULTON PARK THIS MAY BANK HOLIDAY
Tommy Hill and the Swan Yamaha team return to Oulton Park in Cheshire this May Bank Holiday weekend (5/6//7) for the third round of the MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship as Tommy Hill targets he's first victoriy of the season.
Defending champion Hill took a pair of second place finishes last time out at Thruxton and after a winning performance at the Cheshire circuit last year he is determined to make it a repeat performance. The opening race of the weekend (postponed from Brands Hatch) takes place on Sunday following the Oulton Park qualifying session and will see the Swan Yamaha pairing line up on the fifth row of the grid, with both riders eager to make an impression.
Hill said: “I think so far this season it has been a bit of a learning curve for everyone with the regulation changes. We certainly learnt a lot from Thruxton and I think the use of different tyre combinations was a bit of a variant; Brands Hatch was obviously difficult conditions so I think at Oulton Park we could see things turn around again. We had a pole position and a race win there last season so I would like to think that despite the changes we can have another strong performance again. I think that in the first race I will have a lot of work to do as I am starting from the fifth row as that was the one from Brands Hatch but we will just have to push as hard as we can and then set ourselves up for the next two races on the Bank Holiday Monday. We missed out on the win twice at Thruxton so we are going out to change that at Oulton Park.”
