consistently more than anything”, she says. “I need race wins at Manfeild to keep my championship alive, but I’d rather stay consistent than be there fighting and potentially messing it all up. “Manfeild and Taupo are the two tracks I’ve done best at historically. This year is really different for me as normally I start the year really average down south and get faster and faster and by the last round I’m on top of my game, whereas this year I got pole at Ruapuna which is a real shame the race got cancelled. “I think having Damo Rees do Tri Series really helped with that, and he’s obviously really fast from racing a season in Australia so it really got me up to speed racing against him before the NZSBK championship started. I’m feeling really positive about Manfeild and Taupo, but we’ll have to see what happens really.” Biddle sits 22 points behind Summers in the overall standings for the 2019 Supersport title with two rounds remaining in the Championship with round 4 taking place at Manfeild the weekend of March 30-31 with the final round hitting Taupo the weekend of April 6-7.
