Leon Camier continued his dominance of the ViSK British Superbike Championship in the sixth round at Knockhill.

Camier recorded his fourth win double of the campaign to increase his lead in the championship over his Airwaves Yamaha team-mate James Ellison to 78 points.

The Ashford-rider, who has now won all but two of the 12 races, said: "I need to send massive thanks to the whole of the Airwaves Yamaha team as they had never won at Knockhill before this weekend so to do the double is even more special.

"It was difficult to concentrate at certain points but it is a great result for the whole team and I don't intend on slowing down any time soon."

In race one, Camier took the lead from Stuart Easton on the second lap and, despite a safety car intervention late on, comfortably won from Easton and Josh Brookes, who had started in pole position.

Brookes led in race two, before Camier went ahead on lap seven. Ellison came home in third place.
