Moto Rapido Ducati Racing and Leon Haslam returned to the podium in the third British Superbike race at Snetterton.

After missing out on the podium at Donington Park, Leon Haslam was able to make his way back onto the rostrum at Snetterton.

In the first two races of the weekend, Haslam was unable to challenge for the podium as he finished in fourth and fifth places, but was eight seconds behind the podium fight in both races.

However, after making some changes ahead of the final race, the Moto Rapido Ducati Racing rider was able to bridge the gap to third place and secured his first podium since his race win at Oulton Park.

"Honestly, from the first lap this weekend we have been struggling," Haslam said after the final race of the weekend.

"Little bit with throttle connection, little bit with chassis, it is the first time we have run the Ducati in these temperatures.

"So, being on the back foot would probably be an understatement, I was over a second off. I was really the best of the rest, finishing fourth and fifth, and quite a long way away from the podium.

"We climbed a big mountain for that race, Wilf and the boys came up with the goods.

"The throttle connection came back to where I knew it could be; we were going into the race a little bit blind, and I had a false neutral that dropped me back a little bit.

"But a big, big credit to the team and all the boys that have helped me out this year, because to have that pace in the last one, it shows where we can be."

The British Superbike Championship will now have a week off before they head to Knockhill, a circuit that Haslam has had success at in the past.

"Knockhill has been a good circuit for me, and I have had good results there in the past," he said.

"We have not been there on the Ducati for a lot of years now, so I am really excited to get there with the Ducati.

"Obviously, Rory will be strong where it is his home race. But fingers crossed, because we have learnt a lot this weekend so hopefully we can roll that onto Knockhill."
