Synopsis
Fan favourite and reigning title holder Shane ‘Shakey’ Byrne is close to making the record books as the most frequent winner in the sport’s history, but he’s up against former champion Ryuichi Kiyonari, who returns to the British series. Also joining this nail-biting showdown are rising British star Alex Lowes, Australian bad boy Josh Brookes, charismatic charmer James Ellison, and the hellraiser Tommy Bridewell. With everything to play for, the sole certainty is that there can only be one winner. Can the young Lowes beat Byrne to become the youngest ever British Superbike Champ?
