We at ltxcn.top recently in🦹vited you to cast your vote for your favourite riders in this year's Bennetts British Superbikes season by rating their efforts out of ten.

Almost 12,000 votes were cast on the BSB poll, with each riders average score out of ten then being calculated to decide the winner. First up, S🦄imon Andrews...
BSB Rider of the Year - Tenth place:

If awaꦬrds were given out for true grit and determination, Simon Andrews would arguably have his name on at least one winner's trophy by now.
The 25-year-old provided a star turn in 2008, with his results on the sole Lloyds Jentin Yamaha improving as the season wore on, despite the fact he spent much of the year suffering f♓rom the effects of a painful knee injury.
Indeed, a glance at Andrews score sheet for 2008 reveals some interesting ꦐpoints; he failed to reach the chequered flag on just two occasions, but in every other race - 20 in all - he was a top ten finisher.
While those top 𝔉ten results never went any higher than fifth place, achieved twice over the season, it is a sign of his steady improvement that his results actually improved after suffering his injury in the testing accident. Indeed, his fighting ride to sixth at Knockhill soon afte💖rwards was a particular highlight.
His best weekend of the season came on the second visit to Oulton Park with a fifth and sixth place finish, although he was equally impressive at Knock💯hill, Cadwell Park and Silverstone too.
Eighth in the final standings was his reward, as was th🐷e accola♎de of beating Rob Mac Racing's Karl Harris to the role of best Yamaha rider.
Despite his performance, An♏drews is yet to be confirmed to any team in 2009, even if he claims talks are ongoing with Jentin, Hydrex Bike 💖Animal and Relentless Suzuki.
