Busy times for Sykes and Kawasaki


Immediately after that, he came back to the UK to ride in the British Superbike Championship round at Brands Hatch, one weekend after Silverstone WSBK. He was glad he did, as he won both races on Sunday, giving his entire Kawasaki Racing Team - based in the UK and run by Paul Bird Motorsport - a real boost.


Said Sykes of his Brands Hatch wins, "It's been great to race at Brands Hatch again as it's a circuit I really love. There was quite a bit of pressure from myself to perform this weekend but we used this as a bit of a test. Up until last night things weren't really going that well, then we went back to basics and made a few changes, which obviously seemed to work in today's races. Hats off to the team and Paul Bird for pushing hard for us to come here as the results paid off and it just goes to show we're not doing a bad job in where we are in the World Championship. It's a nice pat on the back to the guys for all their hard work this year and really good for me to get the double. It has certainly put a smile on my face."
