Phillip Island WSBK: Top speed hampering Camier

Fixi Suzuki's Leon Camier isn't exactly over the moon with his seventh-place grid slot for tomorrow's World Superbike double-header as the new rules means he is on the third row instead of the second following Superpole today.

The Andorra resident has been as much as 11mph down on top speed when compared to the Aprilias and BMWs along Phillip Island's start/finish straight and says he will be looking for draughting opportunities tomorrow.

"I'm not really bowled over with the result in qualifying, but I think our race-pace is a little bit better than seventh. It's going to be a really hard race tomorrow though, no matter what, because there are a lot of people that can do very good race times," said Camier.

"We need to improve in the final sector and get dragged down the straight by the fastest bikes, if we can do that the job will be a little easier. I'll be hoping to get a strong start tomorrow, the third row means that a good start is even more crucial, so to have a decent race I need to get off the line well, be quite clever on the tactics and hopefully have the pace at the end of the race to do well."
