MotoGP: Leon Camier keeps Aspar seat for Silverstone

Leon Camier will remaﷺin at the Aspar team for his home British MotoGP at Silverstone.
The news was confirmed after Monday's p﷽ost-race test at Brno.
"I'll be riding at Silverstone for the D💎rive M7 Aspar Teꦗam, which is great news and a dream come true for me to ride in my home grand prix with such a great team," said Camier.
"I know the circuit well and I really like it so hopefully we can take another big step forward 🐟there."
Camier is continuing to replace the injured Nicky Hayden, but was initially confirmꦦed only for Indianapolis and Brno.
'Hayden's recovery [from wrist surgery] remain🧔s on schedule but the American does no𝓀t want to rush his return and take any risks,' said an Aspar statement.
Former BSB champion and WSBK podium finisher Camier - left without a full-time 2014 ride a♒fter be𝓰ing dropped by Crescent Suzuki, then Ioda - has impressed ever since his first MotoGP laps in the USA.
Camier scored a world championship point with 15th at Brno on Sunday and ♊found a further half second during the test, when he was 14th out of the 19 riders.
"It was a busy day, which started off with a crash virtually as soon a⛎s I went out," said Camier. "I wasn't sure what had happened but looking at the telemetry it seems I hit a bump that unsettled the bike and I went down. It was just bad luck and it cost us some time but then I was able to get back out and make some good progress.
"I managed a 1m 58.1, which was faster🌸 than I had gone all weekend, and a few more consistent laps in the 1m 58s so I am happy. The improvements today have shown us the way forward.
❀"We still needed the bike to be a bit less aggressive over the bumps to improve our speed in corner entry but overall I am happy with the job we did. I still have to learn the bike and adapt my style to it but I think we're doing a great job."
Camier was one place and 0.4s behind top Oꦛpen class Honda rider Scott Redding at the test.
