LEON CAMIER recorded victories in the final two races of his British Superbike Championship winning campaign at Oulton Park.

That stretched to 19 the record number of victories in the season by the Airwaves Yamaha rider.

Camier said: “That was an awesome way to finish the season. It really has been a dream season for me – I could not have asked for anything more.

“I’ve had a strong team around me, and I owe so much to those guys for what they’ve done to help make his all possible for me.”

The only disappointment at the Cheshire circuit for Camier was that he had gone into the final showdown hoping to match the winning triple that he had scored at Brands Hatch back in August.

That was denied him by determined Hydrex Honda rider Stuart Easton who snatched a dramatic last lap victory at Hizzy’s chicane in Saturday afternoon’s race.

Easton threatened an action replay in the first of Sunday afternoon’s races, again on the last lap, but Camier held him off to take the victory by a split second.

Camier reflected: “I wanted that one.

“It feels awesome as the conditions at the start were not good. Everyone was all over the place, as you could not see where the circuit was wet.”

James Ellison, on the second Airwaves bike, ran third ahead of Hydrex Honda’s Tommy Hill and Sylvain Guintoli on the Worx Crescent Suzuki. The final race of the campaign was red-flagged as Simon Andrews crashed his MSS Colchester Kawasaki heavily at Cascades, suffering concussion, and when the action resumed Camier took charge.

Hill charged after him with Easton running third ahead of Ellison and Josh Brookes on the HM Plant Honda but on the fifth lap, Easton clipped the kerb at Brittens and tipped off and soon afterwards Ellison was slowing with a machine problem. Camier maintained his pace, taking the victory by 3.734secs, ahead of Hill with Brookes finishing his season with a third place.
