Byrne Hoping for Double Celebration
27 June 2008
Airwaves Ducati star, Shane ‘Shakey’ Byrne, arrives at Mallory Park this weekend hoping to score on two fronts. In addition to seeking further race wins to extend his lead at the top of the British Superbike Championship standings, ‘Shakey’ will be keeping one eye on Spain’s Euro 2008 final preparations against Germany. With no domestic interest, the Spaniards have been Byrne’s team of choice due to the amount of time he spends in the country, and the hospitality he received after Airwaves Ducati’s recent pre season testing session at Calafat.

Airwaves Ducati Prepare for Super-Fast Snetterton
12 June 2008
Airwaves Ducati return to the track this weekend for round 5 of the British Superbike Championship at Snetterton. The team head to the Norfolk circuit with Shane Byrne leading the championship on 190 points and team mate Leon Camier in 3rd on 107 points. The 1.95 mile Snetterton circuit is one of the fastest on the BSB calendar, the speed required on its long straights coupled with few opportunities to overtake makes it a challenging circuit for the Ducati 1098R's. However following the teams‚ impressive results at Donington 3 weeks ago, where Shane achieved a double win and Leon secured 4th and 5th positions, Airwaves Ducati are positive about the weekend ahead.
