Swan Yamaha BSB 2011 Championship Winners

Goodridge Ltd would like to congratulate Swan Yamaha on winning the 2011 British Superbike Championship!  Tommy Hill secured the title in the final race of the year by a margin of 0.006 seconds against John Hopkins of fellow Goodridge sponsored team Samsung Crescent Racing.

Goodridge Ltd supplied Swan Yamaha with brake lines, G-Link quick disconnect couplings and hose and fittings for both team bikes and would like to congratulate them on a fantastic season of racing.

Hill said: “I am gobsmacked to have won the title for Swan Yamaha; this has been my goal and I was trying to stay as relaxed as possible in that final race. The season has put a lot of pressure on everyone and that reflects on everyone. We have been regularly finishing in the top three and that has therefore been the benchmark and the whole of the Swan Yamaha team have been working so hard all year to make this possible. It has just been a complete shock for me and I feel like we should be having another race next weekend now! It wasn’t until the other riders started congratulating me that I even realised I had won as it was so close between myself and Hopper.

Team Owner Shaun Muir concluded: “We delivered everything we set out to achieve at the start of the season although we have made life difficult along the way! It didn’t start the best for Tommy this weekend but he couldn’t have done more in that race. Big thanks also have to go to Michael for his support in the final race as he did a great job of acting as Tommy’s wingman. We want to take this opportunity to thank all of our sponsors, partners and supporters who have made this possible
