Video

Welcome back to Beyond the Blade, where in Episode 5 it's all about the Bennetts British Superbike Championship Showdown where rounds six, seven and eight of the series are crucial for those wanting to secure a spot to become one of the eight BSB 2022 Title Fighters.

Heading to Thruxton, Cadwell Park and Snetterton all eyes were on Honda Racing UK's Glenn Irwin, to see if he can grab a spot in the all-important Showdown and battle to become the 2022 champion at the last three rounds.

Keeping with the British Championship there's a mid-season catch-up with BSB rookie Tom Neave, as we see how he's getting on with his transition into the premier class aboard the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP Superbike, and how it differs to that of his 2021 championship-winning Superstock machine. 

There's a look back at the Suzuka 8 Hours where Takumi Takahashi rode for Team HRC and helped Honda lift the winning trophy again for the first time in nearly a decade, as well as it being Takumi's fourth win at the prestigious event. 

The team are also joined at Snetterton by 23-time TT winner John McGuinness MBE where before the weekend kicked off, they visited John Banks Honda in Bury St Edmunds for an evening of fun and entertainment.
