Ashford’s Leon Camier and team-mate James Ellison are the only riders who can now still win the British Superbike Championship.

Series leader Camier recovered from sixth in race one to win race two, while his team-mate Ellison came away with a second and a fourth. Their efforts mean GSE Racing, the team behind Airwaves Yamaha, have secured a record fifth BSB title.

Camier slotted in to sixth in race one but on lap three, whilst challenging Simon Andrews on the Kawasaki, he went straight-on at Tower. He rejoined the race 22 and last, but managed to fight his way through to finish sixth.

Camier got a better start in the second race, going to fourth, and after posting the fastest lap of the race, 1:20.097, he managed to make his way into the lead by lap six.

He said: "The mistake in the first race was 100 per cent my fault. I was pushing too hard to get past and was 16kph faster than I should have been.

“Once I got back on track I got my head down and tried to work my way through the field. It was pretty tough to pass out there so I'm pleased to have got as high as I did and get some more Championship points for Airwaves Yamaha.

"I got an okay start to race two, for a change. From there, everything went to plan."
