Factory Aprilia World Superbike rider, Leon Camier is making the most of his Superpole crash at Phillip Island in the opening round of the series by auctioning off his damaged screen in aid of Sport Relief.

Camier crashed at Honda Corner in Superpole 2 before going on to secure two 11th place finishes in the two races.

He said: “I was so annoyed with myself for crashing in qualifying, but hopefully by raising money for Sport Relief, something good can come out of it! I’m not planning to crash again, so this should end up quite a rare item!

”Sport Relief is a fantastic charity, raising money for such worthwhile causes. I hope all bike racing fans get involved and help raise as much money as possible.”

Sports Editor - If you’re looking for sport insight that’s got its finger firmly on the pulse and gets to the very heart of the action with the fattest contacts book in bike sport (rather than simply relying on watching TV coverage and hoovering up what other people are saying on social media) – then Michael is your, erm, ‘guy’. An integral part of MCN’s in-depth sport coverage for over twenty years, Michael has been a fixture in every major bike sport paddock, and a few minor ones, too. He has spent a significant portion of his life living in the World Superbike global travelling circus, inside the British Superbike paddocks all around the UK, as well as traipsing the corridors of power within MotoGP and regularly making the Isle of Man a working destination for the legendary TT. Not only is he the consummate racing aficionado and journalist, but he’s also appeared on numerous podcasts, has delivered live race commentary from the booth, and has competed in trials, enduro, rally and track racing to a high level (with plenty of trophies and scars to show for his efforts, too). I you want to be in the know, Michael and the MCN sport team will get you close enough to the biggest stories in racing to be able to tell if they brushed their teeth this morning.
