Helped by a pair of 5th places at Knockhill in round 7 he came 7th overall, ahead of the more experienced Rutter. For 2007, Michael moved back to the British Supersport Championship, with the successful Relentless Racing by TAS Suzuki team. He beat team-mate Ian Lowry to the title, and moved back up to BSB with the team for 2008. He took two fourth places early on in the season and finished 9th overall, but decided to leave the team for 2009.
For 2009 Michael competed in the USA riding in selected rounds of the AMA Superbike Championship with Celtic Racing. Michael finished in the top 10 at every round he competed in, with a 2nd position to Mat Mladin at the Road America round being his best result.

Michael Laverty (born 7 June 1981) is a motorcycle racer from Toomebridge, Northern Ireland. He is the 2007 British Supersport Champion, and has raced regularly in British Superbikes, plus occasional races in the World Supersport series and in American AMA Superbike Racing. His brothers Eugene and John are also racers. In 2017, he will be aboard a Yamaha YZF-R1 in the British Superbike Championship.

The double of British championship titles in Supersport and Superbike racing has been done by a couple of other riders, but only Leon Camier has won his country’s 125cc GP title as well. That crown came at an early age, as Leon would become too tall a man to ride anything other than the biggest motorcycles, which he now seems to have been born to race. 2010 sees him move to a fourth different Superbike racing machine, competing with the Aprilia after mastering machines from Honda, Ducati and Yamaha. His season on the R1 saw him break all the British Superbike records, marking him out as one of the brightest young talents from Britain at present.

British rider Camier’s first national success came when he won the 2005 British Supersport Championship on his way to moving up to BSB, spending three seasons in the domestic series. Progressively getting closer to the top, Camier won the British Superbike Championship in 2009 on his third attempt. Alongside his Championship winning campaign in BSB the 30 year old took part in three WorldSBK rounds, with some results in the top ten.

Camier moved up full time in 2010 and secured three podiums in his rookie year aboard the Aprilia. The Kent rider then rode for Suzuki in 2012 and 2013 with more podium finishes, before moving to BMW on his way to his current team MV Agusta. During this time he had a short stint in MotoGP, as replacement for injured Nicky Hayden onboard the Aspar team’s Open Honda.

Throughout the 2015 and 2016 WorldSBK season, Camier struggled with reliability at times, but he was able to put in some impressive performances and was able to break into the top ten for 2016, finishing in eighth position overall. With 15 top ten finishes the Brit narrowly missed out on a podium, which he will be hoping to break through this season.

Marco Melandri made his WorldSBK debut in 2011 with the Yamaha World Superbike Team. The Italian soon acquired the status to fight for the title, finishing his first season as runner-up after taking four wins. In 2012 Melandri signed a two-year contract with BMW, and certified himself as one of the main protagonists of the Championship during this season. The rider then made another change in 2014 by joining the Aprilia Racing Team. After a steady start to the season, he was able to turn his season around, and became the rider who scored the most points in the second half of the season. However this effort was not enough to win the title and at the end of that campaign, Melandri returned to the MotoGP grid as an Aprilia factory rider.

Two years later, the 34-year-old Ravenna rider returns to the production-derived motorcycle championship, where he has 19 victories and 49 podiums in the 100 races he raced in between 2011 and 2014. Signing with Aruba.it Racing -Ducati accompanying Chaz Davies as a team-mate, Melandri wants to take the opportunity to race in the competitive Italian squad to win again on the WorldSBK stage.
