Tyco Suzuki enters the final round of the British Superbike and Supersport Championship season at Brands Hatch this weekend looking to end the year on a positive note with all its three riders.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>

John Hopkins is more-determined than ever to land that elusive first podium of the season and team-mate Josh Waters is looking to rediscover the form that brought him his first-ever British Superbike victory at the same venue in the summer on the GSX-R1000.\u00a0<\/span>

In the Supersport class, Taylor Mackenzie is still smiling after his debut middleweight podium during the penultimate round at Silverstone aboard the Tyco Suzuki GSX-R600; and the Scottish rider will be hoping for more of the same to round-out his year on-a-high.\u00a0<\/span>

John Hopkins:

\u201cWe\u2019ve been right at the sharp-end in qualifying now for quite a few meetings and for one reason or another I haven\u2019t quite been able to transfer that into a podium finish. It\u2019s been a long time coming and I\u2019ll be working as hard as ever this weekend and doing my utmost to stand on the Brands podium in front of what will undoubtedly be a huge spectator turn-out for the final round with Tyco Suzuki.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had a really enjoyable year with Tyco Suzuki and we have steadily improved meeting-by-meeting, and if anyone had told me at the start of the year that I\u2019d win two races and be fighting for regular top-six spots I\u2019d have been made up. But we continually have to re-evaluate in this game and I really want to be in that front-group in the races this weekend fighting for podiums and of course wins. We aren\u2019t in the hunt for a championship but I\u2019d like to put the Tyco Suzuki GSX-R1000 on the podium where it belongs this weekend and score as heavily as I can in the points. Seventh place in the championship is still mathematically possible and that\u2019s the goal.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>

\u201cSilverstone was a superb feeling finally getting the podium that everyone in the team deserved and I enjoyed it so much I\u2019d love to be up there again this weekend. I\u2019ve had an enjoyable year with the Tyco boys and I\u2019d like to finish the season in a positive frame of mind heading into the winter break.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>

Philip Neill\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Team Manager:\u00a0<\/span>

\u201cIt\u2019s certainly been a tough season all-round but the spirits in our team are as high as ever and everyone will pull in the right direction to try and give all three riders a strong finish to the year. Brands has been very kind to us in the past on the final weekend, so a touch of that would be very welcome. We know the GSX-R package is good enough to do the job both in Superbike and Supersport at this circuit \u2013 going on previous visits \u2013 so let\u2019s see what we can do.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>
