Fixi Suzuki's Leon Camier managed to park his GSX-R1000 on the World Superbike provisional second row at Phillip Island despite not feeling quite as comfortable as he did during testing.

The former BSB Champion points to a change in wind conditions and warm temperatures for the feeling and says he struggled to put together one really quick lap. However, his fastest was good enough for fourth and only three-tenths off the pace.

"I never felt quite as comfortable out there today as I did in the tests, the conditions had changed quite a bit - the wind was in a different direction and it was a bit hotter. I struggled to get in one quick lap, but the quickest one that I did achieve I managed to do three or four of them in a row," said Camier.

"If I could have put together a perfect lap I'm sure I could have been right up there and a good step quicker. All-in-all it's not too bad, but with the change of conditions again it has altered the way the bike works and feels, so we've got to be really understanding of that come race-day.

"Also for one lap we need to understand exactly what we need to do for the conditions and how to manage it to get a good lap and grid position for Sunday."
