Last Season Retrospective

The Airwaves Ducati team kicked up a gear last season to win the 2008 British Superbike Championship. In the final race at Brands Hatch, Shane 'Shakey' Byrne scored a double victory, with Leon Camier not far behind making a podium finish on the second race. Team Manager Colin Wright commented: "It has been an absolutely fabulous season. We couldn't have asked for more from Shane, Leon, and the rest of the Airwaves Ducati squad. Roll on 2009!"

The Airwaves Pros Talk About Last Season

Specifically looking back at last season, my decision to push as hard as I could at Croft, following a slow start, really paid off as I ending up claiming my first win in the BSB Championship. It was a great feeling and one that I will never forget

Oulton Park went really well for me. I started 2 or 3 rows back and I made the decision whilst waiting on the line that I would use the curb at the exit of turn 1. I went in to the corner fully committed, used all of the curb, and I came out in 2nd position clear of the pack.

Last year I made a positive commitment to keep in really top shape physically. This started pre-season and maintained throughout the year. I kicked up my training regime and in between rallies I maintained very high fitness levels.
