Leon Camier
Leon Stuart Camier (born 4 August 1986) is an English former solo motorcycle racer.
After working as a race team manager, Camier is a rider-coach for Sam Lowes and Elf Marc VDS Racing, a long-established team in Moto2, having a new entry to the Superbike World Championship using a Ducati Panigale 955.
For the 2021 season, Camier was announced as team manager for Honda World Superbike team, run under Honda Racing Corporation. After a long career in solo motorcycle racing he struggled with injuries and finally decided to end his competitive riding.
After difficult 2018 and 2019 seasons with Honda satellite team Moriwaki Althea and suffering from injuries, Camier was contracted to ride for Barni Ducati in WSBK in 2020, but continued to have shoulder injury problems and was unable to start the season and parted ways with Barni Ducati.
After beginning Grasstrack racing aged 6 and winning five British championships, Camier became British Junior 80 cc Road Racing champion in 1998. He won the British 125 cc title in 2001 and the British Supersport crown in 2005. This period built a working relationship with Honda which included contesting the 2005 Suzuka 8 Hours race in 2005 at the age of 18 (unusually young for a non-Japanese rider).
Camier was the 2005 British Supersport and 2009 British Superbike Champion. 2010 was his first full season in the World Superbike series.
2007 was Camier's first season in the British Superbike Championship on a Bike Animal Honda. He led the first corners of his very first race and was on the podium in the first three races. A crash in race 6 at Silverstone and two eighth places at Oulton Park damaged his momentum however. At Snetterton, a bike failure in qualifying saw him start 29th but he moved up to 6th in both races amidst Honda dominance. His season ended with a large crash at Cadwell Park causing a broken left femur and right pelvis.
For 2008, Camier joined the GSE Racing Airwaves Ducati team alongside former champion Shane 'Shaky' Byrne. He finished fifth overall, taking his first three wins.
