Superbike Magny Cours: Tom Sykes “Nice to do a double on this track”

Stunning double today at Magny Cours for Tom Sykes. The Kawasaki rider, after having achieved the eighth Superpole of the season yesterday (the nineteenth of his career), dominated both races today, going on to win by a margin ahead of the Aprilia Factory of the internal team of Sylvain Guintoli and Eugene Laverty, who exchanged the positions in race two.

“It's nice to do a one-two here and we made two small changes to the bike for race two,” he said Tom Sykes – We are always chasing perfection. This is what we always look for. When you are at your limit a small change can make the difference. The bike was very nice to ride today and the racing went very well. When the circuit and conditions are at their best you must try to exploit this advantage. Magny Cours has been generous to me, the bike and all the Kawasaki men, so this was a great day. At the end of race 2 the rain came, it was difficult to manage but I made the rear skate a lot. We still have some work to do, but the good thing is that we have been at or near the top all season.”
