Brookes has duly kept hold of top spot in the 15-minute warm-up session held in very cold but dry conditions at the Kent circuit. The Australian’s 1m 26.644s was enough to keep clear of Redding’s late im🍎provement with just 0.047s splitting the pair at the end of the session.
With the ex-MotoGP rider finishing in third place in R🌊ace 1, Redding knows he can secure the BSB title with a pair of rostrum finishes today regardless of what Brookes can produce.
Fresh from re-signing with Smiths Racing BMW, Peter Hickman ended warm-up in third place, within half a second of the leading Be Wiser Ducatio duo and in front of Tyco BMW’s Christian Iddon and former team-mate Jameꦍs Ellison on the OMG Ra꧑cing Suzuki.
