Pata Honda’s Leon Haslam struggled with some technical issues during both World Superbike races at Sepang today, but felt that changes made to the chassis did work out for the better.
The Brit got a good start to race one but experienced corner entry problems on his way to seventh place. His second outing was no easier in the Sepang heat and the 30-year-old rider could finish no better than eleventh.
“I think we've both struggled this weekend, and I'm not sure whether it's the hot conditions or the low grip levels. We made a different plan for this weekend on the chassis and it's definitely showed up some positives,” said Haslam.
“We have a couple of technical issues which set us back a little but in the race it was quite difficult with me and Jonathan riding around for the lesser points positions which is not ideal. Hopefully we can learn a lot from this weekend and take that to Misano.”
