Description

Airwaves Yamaha's Leon Camier has finally put his Cadwell Park demons to rest after securing the opening race win in the MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship in association with Pirelli. It was Confused.com Kawasaki's Simon Andrews that took the hole shot into Coppice on the opening lap after running side-by-side with Hydrex Honda's Stuart Easton who then took the lead. Camier was running third although he made a move on Andrews at Charlies to move second, but he fought straight back when he dived down the inside at Barn. Camier wasn't going to be deterred by the sudden pass by Andrews and a lap later he was able to out-drag him to make a pass at Charlies to move second. He repeated the move just a lap later on Easton to take the lead and then extend a gap over his battling rivals.

Camier said: "That race definitely all went to plan and it was just awesome for me to win here. I just need to keep doing it and not lose focus as you can't get complacent. We have had a smooth weekend so far so to win the race is a great result for the Airwaves Yamaha team. All I can say is job's a dream!"

James Ellison was handed victory in the final MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship in association with Pirelli race of the day at Cadwell Park after his team-mate Leon Camier was excluded from the result on the final lap. Camier crossed the line first, but the championship leader was excluded from the result after he failed to observe the black and orange flag shown to him on the last lap for smoke. Ellison was therefore promoted to first to take his third race victory of the season for the Airwaves Yamaha team. Ellison said: "We worked hard for that result, especially after having a disappointing practice but it certainly paid off. I was behind Stuart Easton again and I just knew I had to go for it, so from 200 yards back I just went for it and it stuck. I knew I could pull a gap and I was giving it everything. It is obviously better to win outright but you have to take these wins as they come."
