Snetterton BSB test: Iddon pace 'a confidence booster'

VisionTrack Ducati rider Christian Christian Iddon dodged rain and hail to set the fastest time at Snetterton’s Bennetts British Superbike test.

The Stoke rider set fastest time in Wednesday morning’s session before waiting until the final moments of the second session in the afternoon to post his best lap, which put him 0.166s ahead of fellow Ducati rider Tommy Bridewell.

The rain returned for the third session and teams chose to end the day early in preparation for today’s final day of testing, but once again the weather proved to be the only winner, and Iddon, who took his maiden Bennetts BSB victory at Snetterton last year, was forced to end the day early along with everyone else.

“It was very good to top the only two sessions that really happened so from that point of view, it was a real confidence booster. Not only that, I felt we were strong, and the bike was good although we couldn’t really get our teeth into things and we didn’t get to try a lot of what we had planned,” said Iddon.

“It’s a shame we couldn’t do more laps, but it wasn’t just the wet weather, the track was just too cold, and it wouldn’t have made sense to go out and we had nothing to gain.

“We started where we finished at Silverstone and got some really good data so we will take what we learned into the next test at Oulton in a couple of weeks and then the one after that at Donington as we build towards the season ahead.”
