Riding for the Celani Suzuki team at the final round of the World Superbike Championship last weekend, Steve Martin took the chequered flag in 16th position in race one after an on track incident lost him his strong 9th position, but came away from race two with a broken metatarsal in his right foot following a high side crash. Having made improvements to the GSXR1000's set-up and lap times over the weekend, Steve qualified in 15th place to make Superpole, where he was able to improve on his position to take the 13th spot on the grid.
