Haslam seeks first win at Mondello

LEON HASLAM is out to slash team-mate Gregorio Lavilla’s British Superbike Championship lead by claiming his first win of the season at Mondello Park this weekend.

Haslam lies second in the standings, 61 points adrift of Airwaves Ducati colleague and reigning champion Lavilla, and is yet to win this season despite several promising showings.

He has scored six podium finishes in eight attempts but Lavilla’s four consecutive wins heading to Ireland have thwarted Haslam’s dreams of victory.
