Pata Honda's Leon Haslam reckons he is pleased with the progress his team have made with electronic settings going into this weekend's World Superbike round at Laguna Seca - a track where he will be one of the few with any experience.

Haslam raced at the California circuit back in 2004 and although he came away with a broken wrist, he will know which way to go on his first pitlane exit on Friday.

"I’m really looking forward to going back to Laguna Seca where I raced once in 2004, my first year in World Superbikes. I remember it being an awesome place but my memories of the actual races are a little hazy," said Haslam.

"I know I broke my wrist in the second race, so that part of the weekend wasn’t so nice. What I do know is that Honda won both races with Chris Vermeulen, although the bikes were a bit different then – no electronics for a start.

"But that’s an area where we’ve made some progress lately and, although we had one or two other issues in Istanbul, we continued to make forward steps at that last round. The guys have got a good plan for the final three races of the season so I hope we can continue the progress at Laguna."
