Leon Camier remains the front-runner to be handed the vacant ride at Aprilia in next season’s World Superbike Championship.

The Ashford biker stormed to the British championship this year and finished his season by making a guest appearance for the Aprilia team in the final two rounds of the world series in France and Portugal.
