With FIXI set to remain Crescent Suzuki’s title sponsor in 2013 and team principal Paul Denning to take over as team manager from Jack Valentine, the team has confirmed that Leon Camier will stay with them also in 2013.
While Camier is only 14th in the standings, he had a breakthrough in the last part of the championship which included taking a third place podium at Nurburgring in race 2.
“I am so happy to continue working with Fixi Crescent Suzuki and the whole team.
We had a tough start to 2012, but the guys have all worked so hard to turn things around and we are now more competitive and close to the podium,” said Camier.
“I really wanted to stay here and continue with what we have started and to win races on the Suzuki, which is still the target and will be our main focus for 2013.
The whole team is totally focused on succeeding in WSBK and with everything that is happening at the moment we are heading in that direction – it feels good to be a part of it.
” Paul Denning said, “To secure the deal with Leon is a very important step in achieving the team’s 2013 targets.
He was at the forefront of our thoughts when we originally planned to bring Crescent Suzuki to World Superbikes and his input, positive attitude and hard work through the first season has helped push us to a more competitive level.
He is now regularly challenging the front guys and we are sure the plans we have in place for 2013 will see him regularly fighting for the podium.
He has been a great asset to the whole team and his professionalism is obvious to all.
We are all looking forward to working with him again and making sure he is in a position to be pushing for victories in 2013.
”Fixi Crescent Suzuki has yet to announce who will be Camier’s team mate next year, but Sylvain Guintoli is highly tipped to make a return to the team after spending 2009 with them in British Superbikes.
