Q:
Do you think your recent injury will hinder you either physically or mentally?
Leon Camier:
I’m hoping if anything it will make me stronger. It’s the biggest injury I’ve ever sustained but it’s definitely made me really miss the racing and more eager to be back out on a bike.
Q:
Now that you have joined the Wrigley’s Airwaves Ducati Team, what are your aims and targets for the forth coming season and the future?
Leon Camier:
To fit as many pieces of chewing gum in my mouth at once! No seriously, my goal is to win but obviously there are so many factors so I will take it one step at a time. First I need to get fully fit with my leg, then I need to learn everything around me and start moving things forward. I’d like to be in a strong position at the start of the season to get some good early results.
Q:
How long have you had the habit of walking around race tracks the evening before a race? And to what extent does this aid you in the race?
Leon Camier:
How do you know about that to start with?! I do it just to clear my head and get in a good mind set for the next day.
Q:
Do you have any other superstitions?
Leon Camier:
I try not to have any.
Q:
What advice do you have for kids whose ambition is to become a pro rider?
Leon Camier:
It's not just about what you do on the track, you have to put in just as much effort off the track. I do think that if you work hard and put your mind to what you want to achieve, you can achieve it. My racing career has all happened pretty quickly and at 21 I’m now going to be racing for one of the most established teams in the paddock, it’s all come though hard work and dedication.
