Leon Haslam is confident he will be a reckoned force when the 2023 Bennetts British Superbike Championship (BSB) resumes at Oulton Park for round two of the season.

The 2018 BSB Champion shrugged off the late confirmation of his deal to race the new ROKiT BMW M 1000 RR to produce a solid brace of sixth place finishes at Silverstone.

With new parts incoming for the 46-time race winner as he heads to Oulton Park - scene of his best results in 2022 on the VisionTrack Kawasaki - Haslam has high hopes of getting stuck in for the a podium battle.

“Silverstone for me was a really good weekend; we didn’t get all of the material sorted in time so to start and finish all three races in a shout with the leaders was really good. We have a lot of things we have been working on as Oulton Park is a really different circuit. 

“I have had quite a lot of success there in the past, quite a lot of wins, but figuring out what the BMW needs there and at the other circuits is a big thing.

“We should have a lot more of the material for the next round, we are a little bit on the back foot but I am also super excited. 

“It is nice to be back up there and battling; there will be a few challenges at Oulton Park, but I can’t wait to get started and see where we end up.”
