The culmination of this condensed 2020 Bennetts British Superbike Championship takes place this weekend at Brands Hatch for the 6th triple-header within ten weeks and we have the five riders all with a mathematical chance of taking the title here with us.
In what is set to be nail-biting finale to this highly competitive season, the two Vision Track Ducati’s of Josh Brookes and Christian Iddon, the two McAMS Yamaha’s of Jason O’Halloran and Tarran Mackenzie and the Honda Racing machine of Glenn Irwin will line up knowing that one of them will be crowned 2020 Bennetts British Superbike Champion on Sunday afternoon.
We’ve seen eight different winners after 15 rounds as well as twenty-five different points scorers along the way, and it boils down to the 75-points available at Brands Hatch with the top five covered by 46.
Having chosen nine of the best questions (plus one of our own), from our Bennetts Rewards member, we gathered the five riders and grilled them.
This is how the championship table looks going into the final weekend of the season:
