Fearless knee dragger

Leon Haslam, racing for Team Aprilia’s Red Devils, is always pushing the boundaries of grip — sometimes too far, as happened last weekend in Race 2 of the World Superbike Championship, when
turn three during the eighth lap saw Haslam crash out. 
‘Tough day in the office. One of the biggest highsides of my career. 
‘My mistake just pushing on with a few issues,’ he tweeted afterwards. 
At least this time he did not smash a leg, as he did in 2013, and still holds onto second place in the overall standings, just a few days from his home race at Donington.
