Be Wiser Ducati’s Shane Byrne will have some more goodies direct from Ducati Corse to use at this weekend’s Oulton BSB round which he hopes will give him the edge.

Byrne was at the sharp end of times during last week’s test - if a little slower than team-mate Glenn Irwin - but believes the pace he and the Panigale have shown in recent years will be enough for a big-points haul.

“I always look forward to riding my bike at the best of times, but I really enjoy riding at Oulton Park, so I can't wait for this weekend. We found a good direction with the bike last year at Oulton which will be our starting point for this weekend as the test last week wasn’t as good as we would have liked," said Byrne.

"We tried a couple of things but had to go backwards to go forwards with settings, but we blew out the cobwebs nonetheless. There’s a possibility we might have some new parts to try for this weekend too, so fingers crossed it's going to be a great weekend’s racing.”
