Superbike: Baz is the fastest in the Warm Up in Qatar

The day of the race has finally arrived at the Losail International Circuit, the day that will decide the Riders' World Championship, given that the manufacturers' championship seems to be firmly in the hands of Aprilia.

The fastest in this morning's Warm Up was Loris Baz, who yesterday after qualifying declared that if necessary he would help Tom Sykes for the title, followed by poleman Davide Giugliano and, indeed, his teammate KRT.

Marco Melandri is recovering from the bad days of Friday and yesterday, sixth behind Sylvain Guintoli and Jonathan Rea.
The rider from Ravenna is obviously hoping for a good start that will allow him to immediately recover from the tenth position from which he started.

The top ten is completed by Chaz Davies, Alex Lowes, Leon Haslam and Toni Elias.
For EVO, the big favorite remains David Salom, who seems to have freed himself from the pain in his right hand and also precedes Niccolò Canepa in the warm up.
