After a three week break in the racing calendar, the Airwaves Ducati
team returns to Oulton Park this weekend for round 7 of the Bennetts
British Superbike Championship.
On their last visit to the Cheshire circuit back in May, the Airwaves
Ducati duo of Shane Byrne and Leon Camier secured two podium place
finishes each, with Shane recording his first double race win of the
season.
Now leading the championship by 97 points, Shane Byrne is looking
forward to the weekend of racing action ahead. “It’s been good to have
a couple of weeks off since the last round at Mallory Park but I can’t
wait to get back on the Airwaves Ducati 1098R! To have a 97 point lead
at the halfway point of the season is a great feeling but all of us at
Airwaves Ducati are aware that there’s still a lot of hard work ahead
in order to finish the job and win the championship. All of the
circuits on the British Superbike calendar that I don’t like are now
out of the way and the second half of the season kicks off at Oulton
Park where I secured my first double win for the Airwaves Ducati team
so I’m feeling really confident. However I know I need to stay focused
and just take each race one at a time.”
Although disappointed with his results last time out at Mallory Park,
Leon Camier is also confident of a good performance this weekend
saying, “I am really looking forward to racing at Oulton Park again.
Not only did I secure my first two podium finishes of the season here
back in May, but the improvements we’ve made to the settings of the
Airwaves Ducati should really help us, particularly in the slower
sections. Another two podium finishes would be ideal in helping me to
regain second in the championship but of course my goal is to stand on
the top step of the podium once again for the Airwaves Ducati team.”
Round 7 of the Bennetts British Superbike championship takes place on Sunday, 20th July.
