A PROMISING START TO THE SEASON FOR AIRWAVES DUCATI AT BRANDS HATCH
26th March 2006
After Round One at Brands Hatch Airwaves Ducati rider Gregorio Lavilla leads the Championship having won the first race and finishing third in the second. Leon Haslam had a mixed weekend, crashing out of race one and finishing second in race two.
Gregorio Lavilla and Leon Haslam were pole position and second on the grid for the start of the British Superbike Season. In a dry race one Haslam took an early lead with Lavilla moving into second. The 2005 BSB Champion chased his team mate hard recording a new lap record of 45.800 on lap 2 to take the lead. On lap 19 Haslam crashed at Paddock Hill bend, the race was stopped resulting in a first place finish for Lavilla who crossed the line 4.222 seconds ahead of Karl Harris.
Having been cleared to ride in race two Haslam came to the grid with intermediate tyres and Lavilla opted for slicks as the rain had yet to fall. Ryuichi Kiyonari led from early on in the race and was 7 seconds ahead of the rest of the field by lap 3. Lavilla and Haslam settled into second and third place and were set to finish in that order until Haslam stole second place from his team mate on the line by 0.171 seconds.
After race two Haslam commented, "Obviously I am hugely disappointed with the first race but I have not injured myself too badly and I was cleared to ride in the second race which allowed me to get back out there and try to secure a good result for the team. The weather was a problem for both Greg and I but to get a podium finish in these conditions and after my first race I am pleased with the result."
With round one of the championship complete the reigning champion Gregorio Lavilla said, "It has been a good weekend for myself and the team; being on pole position, then a win in race one and a third place in race two. It was clear that my tyre choice was key as I was the only one out there on slicks but I am happy with the results. We have some things to work on for the next round at Donington and I shall be hoping for some dry conditions." He added, "My thoughts go to our electronics guy, Christian, who couldn't be here due to ill health. We all hope he gets better soon and thank him for his part in this weekends result."
