Leon Camier has extended his lead in the ViSK.com British Superbike Championship standings despite having a fourth victory of the season tempered by technica𓂃l issues at Donington Park.

Having moved into the lead last time out at Oulton Park, Camier was in a prime pos🌟ition to extend his advantage following the elimination of closest rival Sylvain Guintoli before the𓄧 start of the first race.

Although a slow start left him playing catch up initially, C෴amier needed just five l♌aps to work his way up from fifth to first, where he would go on to pull away for a comfortable victory over Airwaves Yamaha team-mate James Ellison.

Chasing a second consecutive 'double triumph' in the next race, Camier didn't get away well again, but was well on the way to mak🃏ing up ground when he was caught out by a mysterious technical issue that stopped him for around 25 secon✱ds.

While a marvellous char൲ge from 26th to 12th would see him score four crucial points, Camier - also suffering from a debilitating cold - was certainly left feeling mixed emotions by the end of the day

"I've been suffering from a cold this weekend and not been 100% so the races were tough. I didn't get great starts in eith⛦er so I knew I had to really push to get to the front. In race one it all went pre🌟tty much to plan and so I was really pleased to get another win for Airwaves Yamaha.

"The second race seemed to be going the same way until the bike stopped. At the moment we're not too sure what happ🐽ened so we'll have to look into it, but it's onwards and upwards from here."

Camier no♚w has a one race buffer to second🔥 place Ellison, 28 points ahead.
