Tommy Bridewell’s update on adaptation from Ducati to Honda
"We’ve made some impr✨ovements with my feeling with the Honda 💞and understanding the bike"

Tommy Bridewell has explained the status of his ongoing adapt🦹ation from the Ducati to Honda.
The British Superbike champion opted to defend his title with differen♛t machinery this year, by joining🍸 Honda Racing UK.
He sc🥀ored his first podium on a Honda at the las🔥t BSB round at Oulton Park.
The third round of the 2024 British Superbike⛎ season is this 🥂weekend at Donington Park.
“Going into this weekend, it seems that the bike works very ﷺwell at Donington Park,” Bridewell said.
“At the tes🐷t, before the season had started, we had high winds and we were just working on feeling when we were there.
“It w🐽as my first ever time on the bike, but with the wind and everything against us, we were still up at🎃 the sharp end, in the top six, top seven somewhere.
“I think since the Donington ꩲPark test we’ve made🏅 some improvements with my feeling with the Honda and understanding the bike, and we’ve made some steps with electronics which is good.
“I think fundamentally f𝓡or this weekend we should have a step with the engine from Oulton 🦄Park.
“We’ll hopefully have a little more power and we ha🌼ve just got to keep bu🌸ilding.
“This ⭕time of the year for me is all about consolidating and building points on the board - just keep putting points on the board! We’re in a good position and that’s what we’ꦛve got to build on.”
Bridewell is happy with his results and performances at the fi🙈rst two rounds, his first outings on the Honda Fireblade.
“I 🍬think really for me in truth, the first two rounds have been a lot more promising than perhaps we anticipated with having a brand new bike,” he said.
“Yes, we’ve had some teething issues, but our actual pace over race distance over theಌ shorter race and over practice sessions has been really strong.
🥀“Wওe’ve always, every single session, been in the top four or five area consistently.
“For me, Navarra was a bigger surprise. We had a few issues there, but obviously Oult𒁃on Park was a circuit that I know well and that I go really wel𒐪l at.
෴“It was nice to get my first podium of the year and the first podium for Honda in a r🏅eally long time. We had some slight limitations at Oulton Park, but we got absolutely every ounce out of the bike, which is the main thing.”
