Three Riders Win at Oulton Park
T
he final round of the 2019 Brit-
ish Superbike Championship
regular season was held at Oulton
Park, September 8-9 weekend,
with Josh Brookes, Scott Red-
ding and Tommy Bridewell sealing
a clean sweep of wins for Ducati
and the V4 R Panigale.
The weekend also saw the
formation of the final six riders for
the Showdown, the three-round
shootout that will decide the 2019
British Superbike Champion
among Brookes, Redding, Bride-
well, Kawasaki's Danny Buchan,
Yamaha's Tarran Mackenzie and
BMW's Peter Hickman.
Oulton Park has been a happy
hunting ground for Brookes in
the past, and he added to his
tally with the race-one victory
and a close second to Redding
but ahead of Bridewell in race
two. The final race of the meet-
ing looked to be another Brookes
benefit until he crashed while
comfortably leading at the midway
point of the race, handing the
lead to Bridewell, who had retired
in race one with a mechanical
failure.
Heading into the Showdown,
Brookes leads the series with 548
points to teammate Redding's
545, with Bridewell third at 524.
Round 10 of 12 for the Brit-
ish Superbike Championship is
scheduled for this weekend at
Assen in Holland, the only stop
outside the UK for the series. CN
