Me too! that was Leon Haslam; currently contesting the World Superbike series who is having his best year ever so far...he's probably making a couple hundred thousand a year now; the sky is the limit.

"In their debut race in the highly competitive World Superbike Championship, Team Stiggy Racing Honda's Leon Haslam managed to take a superb 3rd place in the second WSBK race at Phillip Island yesterday.

After riding strongly in race 1, finishing in 6th place, Leon managed put in an even more spectacular performance in the second race, to take a superb third place on the podium"
