Returning Ducati BSB rider “went straight to the gym, been fixing myself”
“The Ducat𓆉i has similar characterist💛ics to what I remember," says Leon Haslam

Leon Haslam is returning from an i⛦njury-hit spell to re𒊎turn to a Ducati.
He has joined the Moto Rapido Ducati Racing team for the 2025 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:British Superbike Championship.
It means Haslam, who rode a BMW last year, is back on a Ducati for the first time 💯since 2007.
He was fifth-fastest overall at the pre-season te🐻st at the Navarra circuit in Spain, 0.880s away from the leader.
Haslam said: “It’s good to be back! From my side the last time I rode a race bike was back in October, but we have had a productivওe winter.
♈“I had quite a lot of injuries over the last two years and so I pretty much went straight to the gym after Brands Hatch and have b🍌een fixing myself.
“Now I ൲am back doing fun stuff again like trials riding and pit biking and I am feeling a 🐬lot stronger.
“Coming h🔜ere to Navarra, I have been getting to know all the boys for the first time, it’s the first time adapting myself to this Ducati, and to be honest at this test we have gone through a big old list of stuff.
“We probably used the least amount of tyres to anyone but we are feeling pretty strong and competitive even though𒁏 we haven’t thrown anything at it yet.
“The Ducati has similar characteristics to what I remember from the last time I rode one, obviously Ducati at the minute🔯 are really putting a lot of force into championships – it’s amazing.
🔯“From my perspective, I have obviously bꦚeen battling the Ducatis for a lot of years.
“I remember being teammates with Alvaro and seeing him move back to Ducati and win a championship it hurt a little so to finally get on ⛦a Ducati now is amazing.”
