Sylvain Guintoli is geared up for his Cadwell Park comeback and admits he wants to give championship leader Leon Camier a tough time on Bank Holiday weekend (29/30/31 August) on his return to the MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship in association with Pirelli.

Guintoli was back testing his race bike for the first time since his Donington Park crash at Cadwell Park on Tuesday and says he loved every minute of it. Now he is eager to pick up where he left off; by being a regular podium finisher and putting the Worx Crescent Suzuki at the front of the pack.

Guintoli said: "It feels like I haven't ridden in ages, which I suppose is true, but yesterday was so much fun - I just loved it! The team were great and it was just such a nice feeling to be back.

"I have certainly had enough of not racing and I am fit enough and confident enough to give it a good go now. I want to be back out there and give Leon Camier a bit of a tough time. I think we would have had a good fight for the championship this year and although I can't win it now, I want to finish the season with some good results.

"I am relaxed about coming back at Cadwell Park and the support I have had has been unbelievable. I need to thank the Worx Crescent Suzuki team, the medical staff and the trainers, but also all the fans who have really been brilliant and so supportive. All I can say now is bring on the races!"
