Honda Racing's British Superbike squad is down to two riders this weekend as Dan Linfoot continues to recover after having surgery to his broken wrist.
Last Friday Honda's duo Jenny Tinmouth and Jason O'Halloran took part in an official MCE British Superbike championship test at the 4.332km circuit, which left both riders and the team positive of the weekend ahead.
The previous round at Brands Hatch was a successful outing for O'Halloran who finished both races in the top-ten, in fifth and tenth positions. Meanwhile his team-mate Tinmouth finished both races and built her confidence onboard the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade.
Qualifying for the third round at Oulton Park takes place on Sunday with race one due to begin at 1330 and race two at 1630 on Monday 4 May. Live Twitter updates will be available via @HondaRacingBSB and live timing will be available via TSL at http://www.britishsuperbike.com/live-timing

Jason O'Halloran:
I'm really looking forward to the weekend and feel I'm in a positive place going into the third round. We had a good test last week at Oulton Park and moving on from Brands I feel we're in a strong position. During the test we worked on some different shock settings and have a few small things to fine tune, but once we have done that we'll be in a better place than at Brands, where we had the two top-ten finishes. Oulton Park is a great circuit and I really enjoy riding there, so can't wait to get back out there for the weekend.
Jenny Tinmouth:
I'm feeling really good going into Oulton Park this weekend, especially now as I have had some more time on the bike. We had a really positive test last week so I feel in a really good place at the moment. Oulton is one of the hardest tracks on the calendar as it's so technical and physically demanding and that's a real challenge, but it's also a lot of fun. The team has been amazing and we're all looking forward to the next round to build on what we have already achieved.
