Leon Lloyd Haslam (born 31 May 1983, in the London Borough of Ealing)[1] is a motorcycle road racer based in Derbyshire, England.

[3][4] Haslam competed in a wild card ride at Assen World Superbikes in April 2022, substituting at short notice for Pedercini Racing.

In torrential rain, this was the only Ducati win in the series all year, even though this was the title-winning bike in both 2003 (Shane "Shakey" Byrne) and 2005 (Gregorio Lavilla).

With Renegade switching to Honda machinery and cutting to one rider[10] Haslam moved to BSB with the reformed GSE Racing Squad, now known as Airwaves Ducati.

He managed to push for the title all the way to the last race of the season at a rain soaked Brands Hatch where Leon, Lavilla and Kiyonari all had a chance to win.

[11] He joined Airwaves' rivals HM Plant Honda, but the Ducati proved to be the faster bike, with Shakey Byrne dominating the championship.

At Portimão he finished third in race two, with a German flag above him on the podium, implying that the officials expected Max Neukirchner to overhaul him.

WSBK remained his target for 2009,[16] and he joined the Stiggy Honda team for their first World Superbike campaign,[17] starting the year strongly with a third-place finish at the first round at Phillip Island in race two.

[20] These strong results continued in the early part of the season, before a run of four successive wins for Max Biaggi's Aprilia.

[29]In July 2013 Haslam won the prestigious Coke Zero Suzuka 8 Hours endurance race in Japan, partnered-up for the race with Team Pata World Supersport rider Michael van der Mark – debuting at Suzuka – and 2010 winner Takumi Takahashi in the MuSashi HARC Pro Honda team.

After a disappointing 2014 season on the Ten Kate Pata Honda with injuries and average results, Haslam signed to race Aprilia for Red Devils Roma Team in 2015,[31] together with Spanish teammate Jordi Torres.

[33] In 2010, he married his long term partner, former glamour model turned TV presenter Olivia Stringer in Sweden,[34] who gave birth to their daughter Ava May in December 2011[35] and Max Peter on 11 August 2013.

At Mallory Park he also made his debut in the British Rallycross Championship in a Suzuki Swift,[36] for which he then stated he had plans to run in the series part-time in 2010.
