HERE'S WHAT trhe top riders in BSB had to say about this weekend's BSB action from Snetterton.
Leon Camier - Airwaves Yamaha - 1st, 1st
"The first race was one of the hardest, but also one of the most fun races I can remember. My start wasn't too bad for a change but I fell back at the first corner. It was so difficult to overtake because we really struggled on the straights. Thankfully the Airwaves Yamaha worked fantastic around the corners. In race two the bike felt awesome. It was fun racing so close to James and I'm pleased we achieved another one-two for the Airwaves Yamaha team. I want to say thank you to all the GSE Racing guys and girls for all their hard work."
James Ellison - Airwaves Yamaha - 4th, 2nd
"The first race was a bit of a nightmare. I got away well but it was really tough. All weekend I've been quick in the complex but I couldn't take advantage of it. Once the Honda's were in front, they slowed me down, particularly in that section. I was pushing hard to get on the podium but made a few mistakes in the final couple of laps. There was nothing I could do. The second race was the best yet. I got a good start and felt that I could push Leon a lot more. In between races Colin sat me down and we analysed what went wrong in race one. It helped massively so thank you to him."
Michael Rutter - Worx Suzuki - DNF, 7th
"I'm gutted. The bike is clearly capable of podiums, and wins, so to leave with what we have is a major disappointment. It was my own fault - the crash in the first race - I was simply having to push so hard to come through and I lost the front coming into Sears. I'm fortunate we got the restart and I'm reasonably happy to have made 7th.
"After that I was very happy with the slightly revised set-up for the second race and was very comfortable pushing hard through those early laps, so to DNF on the fourth lap is frustrating. I'm sorry for the team. They're a great bunch of guys and have really made me feel at home these two last rounds. They deserved at least one podium as a reward this weekend and I just wish I could have given them that."
