Leon Camier took a back seat to fellow Brit Eugene Laverty in the final day of World Superbike testing at Phillip Island in Australia.

Laverty (Yamaha) clocked the fastest time of 1min31.05sec, almost a second faster than Camier, who finished third on his Aprilia RSV-4 in 1.32.04.

The Ashford rider (pictured) ended day two earlier than scheduled after a collision with a seagull left him with a swollen arm.

Camier’s team-mate, last season’s champion Max Biaggi, was second quickest after topping the time sheets for the first two days.

The teams will take part in further tests in January and February, before the season begins in Australia on February 27.
