rdf:langString Thomas George Bridewell (born 8 August 1988 in Etchilhampton, Wiltshire) is an English motorcycle racer in the British Superbike Championship aboard a Ducati Panigale V4 R. During the 2018 season, while competing on a Suzuki GSX-R1000R, his contract was terminated abruptly by his team during practice for the Snetterton Circuit round in June. However in July, after missing two rounds, Bridewell was able to step into the vacant Ducati Panigale seat at Moto Rapido Racing, caused by Taylor Mackenzie leaving earlier by mutual agreement. For the remainder of 2018 Bridewell returned the team's best results in the Superbike class, scoring four podium finishes, narrowly missing out on a Showdown place and achieving the Riders' Cup at the season finale. Bridewell has been retained for 2019 with the same team under a new sponsor name. His best championship standing to date came when he finished third in the British Superbike 2014 season, behind Ryuichi Kiyonari and winner Shane Byrne. He was a runner-up in the Yamaha R6 Cup of 2005. Tommy is the younger brother of Ollie Bridewell, who was a prominent up-and-coming motorcycle racer when he died in 2007 during the Mallory Park round of the Superbike Championship.
