HM Plant Honda hungry for glory at Brands

HM Plant Honda riders Leon Haslam and Cal Crutchlow will be aiming to end their time with the team on a high with wins or podiums in the two feature races

Leon will be looking to secure second place in the series behind champion Shane Byrne, while Cal will be aiming to overhaul Suzuki's Tom Sykes, who sits ahead of him in third place in the rankings.

"I've won five out of the last seven races and now I want to make it seven out of nine. I want to the leave the team and the Bennetts British Superbike series on a high and that's the aim. Obviously everyone is out there is going for it, Cal's got a point to prove coming into the last round, Tom Sykes is strong and Shakey hasn't won a race in 12 outings, so the competition is going to be red-hot. I think the Indy circuit is a bit here and there to be honest, there's also not many places to overtake, but 30 laps around such a short circuit makes for a pretty busy race, so it should be fun."

"Like most riders I much prefer the full circuit compared to the Indy track we will race on. The good thing is that there are plenty of laps to do the business and that's what I've got to do. We're coming off the back of another disappointing result at Silverstone, as I knew I had the pace to be on the podium in race two. I still desperately want to end the year on a high and for me a win - or preferably two - will be the perfect way to sign-off things in the UK before I go to World Supersport."

"Leon is confident as we head into the final two Superbike races. He's won five from the last seven and it's shown that we've resolved some of the early season issues we had with the bike. Leon's ahead of Tom in third by 18 points, so it's close, but hopefully Leon can show the form he has of late. With Cal it's going to be harder to catch Tom as he's 21 points adrift, but anything can happen. He's not had as much luck in the recent rounds, but we know what he's capable of and he's going to be determined. With both riders we are still in with a shout of the manufacturer's title, but we're 25 points behind Ducati, so it will be difficult to overhaul that lead."
