Superbike Germany: Warm Up in Sykes
The Englishman preceded Laverty
The sun returned to shine on the Nürburgring and brought the good driver back to the front of the group Tom Sykes su Kawasaki who will certainly do everything in the race not to appear like a supporting player. Behind him and among the leaders for the first time this weekend were the official Aprilia of Eugene Laverty and the green bike of Loris Baz, who crashed in the final minutes. Nothing serious for him except a big blow to the back.
Fourth was Davide Giugliano on the RSV4 of the Althea team, ahead of Jonathan Rea's Honda Pata and the two BMWs of Melandri and Davies.
Leon Camier's Suzuki was eighth followed by Sylvain Guintoli's Aprilia and Leon Haslam's CBR1000.
As expected, the Ducati Alstare of poleman Ayrton Badovini, fourteenth, disappeared in the dry, although he did better than his teammate Carlos Checa, only sixteenth.
