SWAN YAMAHA SET FOR SEASON SHOWDOWN AT BRANDS HATCH TITLE DECIDER

 The Swan Yamaha team are gearing up for the title-deciding final round of the MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship at Brands Hatch this weekend as the team challenge for their maiden title with Tommy Hill and Michael Laverty both in contention.

Hill arrives at his home round with an eight point deficit to championship leader John Hopkins and will be going all out for the final three race wins of the season. Laverty on the second of the Swan Yamahas is mathematically still in with a shot of the title despite being 44 points adrift ahead of the title leader and is determined to end his season on a high. The Swan Yamaha team will be looking to build on their run of podium finishes; Hill has secured top three positions in the previous nine races and Laverty has also consistently scored podiums over the past three rounds.  

Hill - looking to keep the Swan Yamaha ahead of Hopkins

Hill said: “Brands Hatch is it; the three most important races of the season and everyone is focused on the weekend. We all love the Grand Prix circuit and everyone in the Swan Yamaha team will be doing everything we can to come away as champions. We have moved forward since the round there in August when we won and this is the weekend where we need to step everything up again; this is the last chance and we really want this title. We can’t underestimate any of our rivals as everyone is going to be pushing hard. Last year was a different scenario and I will be coming out fighting as hard as I can to win again this weekend and hopefully that will be enough to be the 2011 champions.”

Laverty said: “The last round at Silverstone was a bit frustrating as we deserved more, but the pressure is off me now because of my position and I can come into Brands Hatch feeling confident of a strong end to the season for the Swan Yamaha team. We have an outside chance of the title now, but at the same time you never know what can still happen; we have seen that before! We are ready for the battle this weekend and we won’t be giving up just yet. We always want the two Swan Yamahas at the front in every race and this weekend that will be what we are aiming for again. They are going to be three tough races, but we will be doing everything to win.”
