When the Drive M7 Aspar team gave Leon Camier the chance to ride its bike in the absence of their experienced racer Nicky Hayden, the British rider grabbed the opportunity with both hands. The WSBK frontrunner and BSB winner made a good start by scoring a point for Aspar team at Brno where he managed to finish in the 15th place. So when the MotoGP riders once again gathered in England to take part in the British Grand Prix on Sunday, August 31st Camier was keen to improve his position. Unfortunately, this time Camier failed secure a point for his team as his fears soon confirmed when the Englishman started facing the braking issue.
As a result, Camier had a frustrating home race. The Drive M7 rider finished the competition in 16th place and missed to seize a point this time. Leon said after the race that he believe that they could done better. He said that as soon as he went out there he felt that there is some issue with the brakes. According to Camier, the brakes did not slow him down the way they used to because of which he was close to ran off the track during the warm-up lap.
In spite of it, Camier said that he was able to make a good start in the race as he made some excellent passes, but soon he realized that the brakes are not working fine. Leon said he continued running deep on the track but failed to use the brakes as he wanted. After that his brake lever beginning to come back and it took him a couple of laps to deal with that issue, said Camier. He added that since he had never faced a brake fade issue so it was definitely a different thing for him.
Camier said consequently he had to completely change his style of riding because his bike was not braking the way he wanted it, which as a matter of fat was quite frustrating. The British rider said then he started facing some grip problem as well as then rear tyre started sliding.
Leon said due to these issues with his bike he was not able to show his true skills at Silverstone, which was pretty disappointing for him. Adding to it he said that he feel that he is not riding the way he can, not confidently. He was not able to leave the gas and take the turns the way he actually wanted to the Englishman explained.
The Aspar rider said despite of these issues he tried to ride the bike as best as he could but they were missing something. Camier said that they need to test and change something radically on the machine in order to make it perform better.
Leon finished 6.5 seconds behind the NGM Forward Racing’s Alex de Angelis, while his partner Hiroshi Aoyama secured 14th place. Now it remains to be seen whether Camier gets a chance to fix and ready his bike for the next round in Misano or Aspar will bring back Hayden in his place if he gets fit.
