Easter weekend action sees the Market Rasen twins battling it out in different teams, as Tom is racing for the Louth-based Honda Racing team while Tim has signed for Morello Racing.

Both riders have completed a round of pre-season testing culminating with the official British Superbike test at Silverstone last Tuesday where, despite the cold and damp conditions, Tom was seventh fastest overall with Tim in 17th position.

But that was testing and once the lights go out for the first of three races at Silverstone the red mist will come down and both riders will be fighting it out for the win.

There are two back-to-back races on Saturday with a break at the end of the first race for refuelling and a tyre change, and then a further race on Sunday afternoon.
