Camier Takes Pole At Thruxton
May 30, 2009
Leon Camier made it a hattrick of pole positions for the season at Thruxton today, staving off competition from the rest of the field to remain fastest rider of the weekend.
Camier had set a new lap record for Thruxton earlier in the day, but was unable to keep up the fast speeds during the Swan Combi 50 - Role For Pole. However his time of 1m 14.913s was fast enough to secure pole position, his third of the season.
Camier said: “We had the pace early on but to be honest I was disappointed with my lap time as it was slower than what we had been doing in practice and I expected more of an improvement in that last qualifying session. We just need to figure out why we lost some pace and see how we can change it from there. We are going to use a harder tyre in the race and it seems we have everything sorted from Donington Park so I am looking forward to another good race tomorrow.”
The full races are now set for tomorrow, where plenty of fans will enjoy the sunny weekend away from their office desks and track side at Thruxton.
