Josh Brookes will enter the final round of this year's British Superbike Championship just nine points behind main rival Shane Byrne after taking a race two podium in third place yesterday at Silverstone.
GSX-R1000 mounted Brookes made a tyre and strategy change after taking fourth place in race one, then proceeded to get involved in a race-long dogfight with his fellow Showdown contenders in the second encounter.
"We made a change of tyre to the SC2 for the second race and despite plenty of overtaking at the front I wasn't able to convert that into the win." Brookes expalined
"I got screwed over a bit at the start of the second race and it cost me time, but when I did get to the front with Shakey and Alex Lowes, every time I made a pass it was tough to make it stick and they came back past me.
I'm disappointed not to have taken a win but nine points behind is nothing with seventy five up for grabs at Brands." the Australian concluded.
It was the Australian's 17th podium of the 2012 BSB season and he has high hopes of success as the season enters the final stretch at Brands Hatch on October 13-14th.
