LeonHaslam

Leon Haslam continues in the WorldSBK paddock in 2020 with Honda, marking his third spell with the title-winning manufacturer.

At the age of 36, the Brit boasts plenty of experience on the world stage, with five WorldSBK victories and 45 podiums under his belt, competing in nine full seasons in the class since 2003.

Finishing as runner up in 2010 on-board the Team Suzuki Alstare GSX-R1000, Haslam has battled with the best of SBK® over the past decade and with just about every manufacturer: Ducati, Honda, Suzuki, BMW, Aprilia and, finally Kawasaki. After three seasons completing wildcard appearances onboard the ZX-10RR (while he competed in the British Superbike Championship), Haslam finally returned to the series full-time in 2019, partnering Jonathan Rea in the Kawasaki Racing Team.

Taking six podiums and a wide number of top-five finishes, Haslam and Kawasaki parted ways at the end of the 2019 season, with the English rider opting to return to Honda for 2020. With HRC leading the new project, a return to the top end of the field will be the goal for Haslam onboard the brand-new CBR1000RR-R.
