Scott saves the best 'til last at Brands Hatch!
Race 3 victory at Brands Hatch
Scott Redding and the Hager PBM Racing Team continued their impressive run of podium finishes at Brands Hatch for round 5 of the British Superbike Championship this weekend, securing two second-place finishes and a race victory.
Scott now sits just 19 points behind current series leader Kyle Ryde, with six rounds still to go, plenty of points up for grabs and every opportunity to close that gap even further.
During Sunday's rider Q&A, Redding admitted he was frustrated to miss out on victory in the opening two races of the weekend after an intense battle with Ryde. However, the team made further changes to the bike during the break before race three, with the 2019 British Superbike Champion making the most of them to secure victory in the final race of the weekend.
Co-owners Jordan Bird and Frank reflected on the weekend’s results:
“Well, we saved the best 'til last here at Brands! It was great to get the win in race three. The team has worked really hard all weekend, Scott's worked hard all weekend and Kyle rode impeccably all weekend so to beat him in the third race today was really special for us. Things are looking really good coming into the second half of the season and I'm excited to see where we end up in October." Jordan Bird
"We're absolutely buzzing to win the last race - it's always the best one to win! The boys have worked really hard and they thoroughly deserved the win today. Hopefully this will give us a bit of momentum moving forward now." Frank Bird
