VisionTrack Ducati’s Christian Iddon will use free practice on Friday at the Bennetts British Superbike season opener to find the final piece of the setup jigsaw that he is missing.
The Stockport rider, who joined Josh Brookes in the team over winter, is aware that the compact season means mistakes will be punished but says he will be happy when he finds a base setting for the Panigale V4R.
“It’s been such a long time since I started a race, I’ve never known such a delay, but we all know the reasons for that and being honest, I’m a little apprehensive,” said Iddon.
“The shortened series will be very exciting, and you need to be on it from the start. I know from racing against them last year, the Ducatis are fantastic around Donington so I hope to take advantage of that, although we do need to find the final piece of the jigsaw which we didn’t manage at the test.
“Once we find that good base setting, we’ll be OK so I’m hoping for a solid weekend which will allow me to push on in the remaining rounds.”
