Description

Leon Haslam took the positives of a strong points haul in the fourth round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship at Oulton Park despite having to give second best to first his team-mate Gregorio Lavilla and then to reigning champion Ryuichi Kiyonari. The Derbyshire rider showed no signs of the lingering discomfort of the leg injuries sustained in a high speed crash during the previous round as he took the lead in each of the races with a strong performance that came close to rewarding him with a first victory of the season.

“My target was to be on the podium in both races to get my title challenge back on track,” explained Haslam who had always been in contention in the opener, running third in the early stages as HM Plant Honda rider Kiyonari led from Lavilla, who was to power his Airwaves Ducati into the lead on the fourth lap.
