Jenny Tinmouth is aiming to put her recent disappointments on the track behind her when round eight of the British Superbikes Championship roars into Cadwell Park this weekend (August 27-29)
Ellesmere Port racer Tinmouth hasn’t finished a race in the competition since round four after crashing out at Snetterton, Thruxton and Brands Hatch in recent weeks.
The Honda Racing rider missed out at the previous round at Brands Hatch after a crash in the morning’s warm-up left substantial damage to her bike, which couldn’t be repaired in time for the race.
But Cadwell Park offers Tinmouth the chance to return to form and the 38-year-old is raring to go for relishing the chance to take on the Lincolnshire circuit.
Tinmouth said: “I can’t wait to get out on the Fireblade at Cadwell Park and put the last few rounds behind me.
"I was really disappointed not being able to race at Brands, but the damage to the bike after the crash was too much for the guys to be able to fix in time. However, this weekend is a new weekend and I am confident going to Cadwell Park.
“The test a few weeks ago really boosted my confidence at the circuit and it’s now important for me to push on and finish both races in and around the top 20.
“Cadwell is a great circuit and lots of fun to ride, so I’m looking forward to getting out there and seeing all the fans over the bank holiday.”
Racing will get under way on Saturday with two free practice sessions before three qualifying rounds on Sunday.
The main event will take place on Monday with race one beginning at 12.50pm and race two at 4.50pm.
With Honda Racing’s team headquarters just 10km away from Cadwell Park, team manager Havier Beltran is hoping that their ‘home round’ will provide Tinmouth and her teammates Dan Linfoot and Jason O’Halloran with an edge come race time.
“I’m looking forward to seeing how Jenny has progressed with her training and fitness since Brands Hatch and seeing it transfer to the track, she impressed us at the test so I’m hoping for a good result and two race finishes this weekend,” said Beltran.
“All in all we’re fired up and ready for our home round and I’m looking forward to seeing all the fans there over the Bank Holiday weekend. Cadwell Park is a real unique circuit compared to the others in the BSB championship. It’s a special round for us.”
