Leon Camier has extended his lead in the ViSK.com🎉 British Superbike Championship standings despite having a fourth victory of the season tempered by technical issues at Donington Park.

Having moved into the lead last time out at Oulton Park, Camier was in a prime position to extend his advantage following the elimination of closest rival Sylvain Guintoli before the star𒁏t of the first race.

Although a slow start left him playing catch up initially, Camier needed just five laps to work🎶 his w🍸ay up from fifth to first, where he would go on to pull away for a comfortable victory over Airwaves Yamaha team-mate James Ellison.

Chasing a second consecutive 'double triumph' in the next race, Camier didn't get away🥀 well again, but was well on the way to making up grounꦡd when he was caught out by a mysterious technical issue that stopped him for around 25 seconds.

While a marvellous charge from 26th to 12th would see him score four crucial points, Camie🌺r - also suffering𝔉 from a debilitating cold - was certainly left feeling mixed emotions by the end of the day

"I've been suffering from a cold this weekend and not been 100% so the races were tough. I didn't get great starts in either so I knew I had to really push to get to the front. In race one it all went pretty much to plan and so I was really pleased to get another win for Airwaves൩ Yamaha.

"The second race s💯eemed to b🦂e going the same way until the bike stopped. At the moment we're not too sure what happened so we'll have to look into it, but it's onwards and upwards from here."

Camier now has a one﷽ race buffer to second place Ellison, 28 points ahead.
