Leon Haslam is ready to come out fighting at this weekend’s fifth round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship at Snetterton as he bids to add to his podium tally for the ROKiT BMW Motorrad Team.
Haslam has been a podium finisher so far in 2023, but has yet to claim a win as he heads to the track where he completed the treble on his way to celebrating title victory in 2018. The ‘Pocket Rocket’ delivered a gritty performance last time out at Knockhill, still recovering from a dislocated shoulder sustained at a test prior to the event, to deliver two sixth place finishes.
Haslam said: “We had a real good result at Snetterton before with the triple win in 2018. It has been a bit of a mixed circuit over the years, but have also had some success there as well. I think the BMW should be a lot more suited than it was at Knockhill.
“It was nice to get the most points out of all the BMWs there but it was obviously not the positions we have been fighting for at the other rounds and we want to get back to that podium fight. We have got a few things we want to improve with the bike and hopefully my physical fitness with my shoulder will have also improved since the last round as well. Snetterton is always a fun weekend so I am looking forward to it.”
