"It's been tough raising the money to compete and Dad has had to take out a second mortgage on the house - now it's up to me to thank him with some good rides," explained Leon. "I'm sure I can do well but we know it will be hard against the works machines. We have just got a new engine in time for the start of the season.
"I'm sure British riders are as good as the others but we just need the opportunities to ride at the highest level," added Camier.
