Camier on race win and looking ahead to Mallory Park

Airwaves Ducati's Leon Camier is relieved to have got his first Bennetts British Superbike Championship race win and is now continuing to train hard ahead of the next round at Mallory Park in just under two weeks time (27/28/29 June).

Camier has been consistent throughout the season, scoring points at every round including four podiums and a win which elevated him to second in the championship standings after Round Five at Snetterton last weekend.

Camier said: "I am obviously mega happy to get the win and get it over and done with! I was strong at the start of last season before my crash and it is nice to back to where I could have been earlier on this year had it not been for injury. I didn't really celebrate afterwards; we just went out for dinner with Shakey on Sunday evening. I am now going to continue with the training between now and Mallory Park with the cycling and just general strength building."

"We will see how it goes at Mallory Park, I think it might be a difficult weekend as the circuit is very stop then go, whereas the Ducatis favour flowing circuits. But in saying that we thought it was going to be difficult at Snetterton and then it turned out to be a really good weekend for Airwaves Ducati. We just need to stay consistent; if we can push for the win then I will go for it otherwise it best to just get the results."

Ellison wants better at Mallory Park

Hydrex Bike Animal Honda rider James Ellison saw his hopes of another podium finish disappear at Snetterton but he is confident that he has the pace to be back at the sharp end of the field at Mallory Park in two weeks time (26/27/28 June).

Ellison was hampered at the weekend by a row three start following qualifying and ended race one in seventh, then in race two a problem with the rear tyre saw him finish tenth.

Ellison said: "I was hoping to make up for seventh in the first race with a good result in the second but it didn't quite go to plan. Qualifying really messed the whole weekend up for me. The bike's got the pace and I've got the pace and I should have been running with the top three guys. I was just too far back on the grid and gave myself a lot of hard work with a row three start. In the second race the bike felt pretty good on the warm up lap, but then in the race the tyre was just spinning up along the back straight and I couldn't get any drive. I'm just disappointed as I wanted to get a result for the team, Shaun Muir and Hydrex Bike Animal Honda but we'll try again at Mallory Park."
