BMW's Leon Haslam is going all out to win at his home circuit of Donington Park - and it is home as he lives only a couple of miles away - during this weekend's World Superbike meeting to follow on the from the podium he achieved amid the chaos of Monza.

Haslam shared the race-two rostrum spoils with Tom Sykes and Eugene Laverty in Italy and Haslam is keen to replicate that or better, and not his performance last year where the Briton endured a big crash in freezing conditions.

“I really enjoy Donington. Last year we had a tough time, as we nearly had a big crash in race two and the conditions weren’t great but I think this year, with the improvements that we have made at BMW Motorrad, I can look forward to racing in front of my home crowd. We will have to wait and see what the weather will be like, but hopefully it will be a lot warmer than last year.

"Donington is renowned for being one of the heaviest braking circuits. You have the first section, which is all fast and flowing with lots of undulations. Then you have the last three or four corners of the track with real heavy braking, tight hairpins so you have a mix of all the different aspects that you need from a circuit. It always produces good races, so I am looking forward to it.”
