AIRWAVES DUCATI THOUGHTS ON THRUXTON
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.
