Leon Haslam says that a problem with his backshift on his JG Speedfit Kawasaki cost him a shot at the win in the opening race at Knockhill, but was pleased with his points to extend his lead at Bennetts British Superbike Championship. Leading the majority of the first race on the Scottish circuit, Haslam missed his race after running to the pin five laps from the end, which allowed Jake Dixon of Kawasaki's RAF Regular & Reserves to skate. While Danny Buchan also outpaced Haslam, who was later penalized for a place to go under the yellow flags, Haslam missed a missed opportunity due to a rear-end problem. .
With his team JG Speedfit Kawasaki two, Haslam made amends by producing a carbon copy of Dixon's victory by taking the lead at five remaining laps after his rival suffered a massive moment that almost thrown off his bike.
"I'm happy with the race result this weekend," Haslam said. "We had some problems in the first race with some problems of delay, which cost us the win.We were still a little struggling in the second race but it was a very good battle so I'm really happy to have won another victory
"The team did a great job all weekend again, we extended our lead"
After winning the second race, Haslam has left Knockhill almost instantly, still in his racing leathers, to get to the airport before the Suzuka 8 Hours where he is competing. for the Kawasaki factory team alongside Jonathan Rea and Kazuma Watanabe.
Directly from the top step of the podium at Edinburgh Airport for my flight to Japan … fingers crossed I do it. – Leon haslam (@realleonhaslam) July 8, 2018
Haslam extends his BSB championship lead to 74 points over Dixon after the first five rounds.
