Newly-crowned British Superbike Champion Leon Camier has said he is gutted to have not finished either of today's World Superbike races at Magny-Cours  after retiring from both races.

The Kent youngster was forced to pull into the pits in both races with technical problems after having trouble-free practice and qualifying sessions earlier in the weekend.

I’m really gutted not to have been able to get any results for the Aprilia team, we’ve not had a problem all weekend with the bike and then in both races we had to retire," said Camier.

"I was feeling good out there and was happy at the progress I made in both races and was pushing for a top ten position. I’ve learnt so much in the last three days and it’s been a real rollercoaster of a weekend. I just hope that I can qualify a little better at Portimao and get two good results there for the Aprilia.

"In the meantime I’ll return to my normal duties at Airwaves Yamaha for the final round of the British Superbike Championship at Oulton Park next weekend before heading to Portimao the following weekend and back on the Aprilia. I’d like to thank the Aprilia team for this opportunity and hope things will go better at the last round.”
