Leon Camier had another successful weekend in the World Superbike Championship with two solid top ten finishes.

Camier is certainly beginning to gel with his MV Agusta in his second season piloting the red machine. In race one on Saturday he finished in sixth place and then he went one better with a fifth place on Sunday.

Imola is a challenging track and it is testament to Camier and his team that they set-up the bike for him to be competitive, and but for a small technical issue in race one he could have finished in the top four in that race.

Camier is currently 9th in the overall ranking and the next world World Superbike round will take place on May 15, in Malaysia, at Sepang International Circuit, where Camier will seek to consolidate its placement in the Top 10 overall standing.

The great performance of the team in this race was the chance to celebrate the anniversary of the death of Formula 1 World Champion Ayrton Senna, who tragically lost his life at Imola on May 1 1994. Given the great friendship between Ayrton Senna and Claudio Castiglioni, historic patron of MV Agusta, the Schiranna based manufacturer decided to honor this event with a photo of the team with the F4 Senna version.

Speaking after the weekend, a delighted, Camier said: “Really, really happy to be honest. The start wasn’t so good, I got caught behind the BMW and some other riders and was quite difficult to pass, so as soon as I could I passed them.

“Unfortunately Giugliano was too far from me. I am very happy with the feeling with the bike and with the changes we made between Race 1 and 2. Big thanks to everyone in the team for the awesome job.”
