With the Moto GP, World Superbikes and British Superbikes all in full swing, June saw some incredible action being bought to the UK from tracks around the world. However, it is not only the riders competition which is hotting up, but the competition between manufacturers – and it’s great to see Honda on top!
The British Superbikes has just completed its 6th race of the season at Knockhill and although only half way through the season, the riders are still battling it out for a comfortable lead on the competition. Josh Brookes of the HM Plant Honda team and Tommy Hill of the Worx Crescent Suzuki team are the current top 2 riders of the season. In the manufacturer’s competition, Honda motorcycles feature four times in the top ten, twice of which are in the top five!
The World Superbike tour has yet to visit the UK but after 8 races the competition is still nail-bitingly close. The Italian Max Biaggi and British Leon Haslam have been fighting it out since the start of the season and have only 15 points between them. Third place is currently held by British Rider Jonathan Rea of the Hannspree Ten Kate Honda team who is desperately trying to fight off Carlos Checa who is a mere 10 points behind.
The Moto GP tour has just seen its annual visit to the UK with a weekend at Silverstone on the 20th June. The top three riders in the Moto GP competition are Jorge Lorenzo and Dani Pedrosa of Spain and Andrea Dovizioso of Italy, two of which are rider Honda’s.
