The Airwaves Ducati team head to Thruxton this weekend for round two of the
British Superbike Championship. Following the cancellation of the season opener
at Brands Hatch, Shane Byrne and Leon Camier are aiming for a positive
performance at the Hampshire circuit.
Shane Byrne was quickest in every session at Brands Hatch, securing himself pole
position with the only sub 1:26 lap of the weekend. He is confident that he will
be able to continue this impressive form at the 2.35 mile Thruxton circuit.
“We had a pretty good outing at Brands Hatch and I am aiming to take
that into this weekend at Thruxton. I just hope the weather doesn’t ruin it for
us again! Achieving pole position at Brands Hatch has given me even more
confidence about the Ducati 1098R and what it is capable of. I like Thruxton and
the Ducati’s have done well there in the past few years so I am confident for a
good result this weekend.”
Leon Camier, who put in a strong performance
on his home circuit to qualify 6th, was grateful for the additional two weeks to
recover more fully from the shoulder injury he suffered in a crash at
testing.
“I was a little sore after practice and qualifying at Brands
Hatch but I knew I what I could have achieved in the race, so I was gutted when
it was cancelled. My shoulder is feeling a lot better now and I hope to be
challenging for the top positions this weekend.”
Round two of the Britsh
Superbike Championship takes place this Sunday, April 20th at Thruxton.
