The Norfolk track holds multiple challenges for both rider and machine encompassing tight hairpins, fast flowing corners and two flat out straights.
Historically not one of Leon's best circuit's for results but that all changed over the weekend.
Leon with his confidence soaring after his recent string of competitive results clocked a time good enough for eighth in free practice.
In qualifying one his good form carried on and he was ninth fastest but was still disappointed as he knew he could go quicker and more importantly where improvements could be made. However, once again the British weather put pay to his plans for qualifying two as a torrential downpour left the Snetterton track awash with water and with no one going quicker grid positions were set from the earlier dry session.
Starting eighth on the grid after another rider was demoted, he made a great start and held his position into the first two corners. Leon made a couple of places up coming out of turn two as some of the front runners came together, leaving Leon in fifth place at the end of lap one.
He set about pursuing fourth place as a chasing pack of four riders started to hunt him down. The pack finally caught him midway through the race and despite some stoic defending Leon fell to eighth place at the chequered flag. This leaves Leon in eighth in the Championship and his confidence sky-high for the next round at the fastest circuit on the calendar next Thruxton.
