Airwaves Ducati travel to the 1.41 mile Mallory Park circuit in
Leicestershire this weekend, for round 6 of the Bennetts British
Superbike Championship.
Shane Byrne enjoyed a win and a 3rd place at the short but demanding
circuit in 2007, whilst Leon achieved two 8th place finishes. Although
it is one of their less favoured circuits on the calendar, the Airwaves
Ducati riders arrive at Mallory Park confident having achieved a double
one-two at Snetterton a couple of weeks ago.
Leon Camier, who secured his debut BSB win at Snetterton and is now 2nd
in the championship behind his team mate, is confident for a positive
performance. “I am still coming down from my high of winning at
Snetterton. It is such a great feeling to have my first win under my
belt, especially as I had to work quite hard for it in the race. We
knew we were capable of results like that and now we can use it to move
onwards and upwards for the remainder of the season. I am looking
forward to getting to Mallory Park and putting in my best possible
performance for Airwaves Ducati and securing some solid championship
points to take me into the second half of the season.”
Shane now leads the championship with 235 points but has mixed feelings
about the approaching weekend. “I like the people at Mallory Park and
the fans always create a good atmosphere as they can get so close to
the track; however it is not a circuit that’s on my list of favourites!
In terms of riding I like fast flowing circuits which Mallory Park
isn’t but I understand they have made some improvements to it so
hopefully that has made it more interesting for this year. Regardless
of the circuit I know that the Airwaves Ducati team will prepare the
best possible package for me and work continuously hard throughout the
weekend to ensure I come away from this round with a good result.”
Round 6 of the BSB Championship takes place this Sunday June 29th at Mallory Park in Leicestershire.
