Superbike Misano, Warm Up: Tom Sykes is the fastest this morning

Superbike, Pirelli Riviera di Rimini Round, Warm Up. Mild temperatures and cloudy skies this morning at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, where the Warm Up for the eighth round of the season has just ended: for Race 2 the temperatures should rise and at least the risk of rain seems to have been fairly averted.

While waiting to understand what the second race has in store for us, Tom Sykes used the session to try to improve and stay ahead of Rea in the race, reiterating that he is very keen on achieving a victory on this track, in front of a public that always shows him affection .
He set the best time, 1'35.007, ahead of his teammate and main rival on the track Jonathan Rea, about a tenth of a second behind, and Davide Giugliano, called to make a run for redemption after yesterday's crash which practically put him out of action. cause.

Fourth time for Chaz Davies, almost three tenths behind Sykes: it will be important for him to get off to a good start so as not to risk being involved in the inevitable brawl at the start again.
Fifth time for Markus Rieterberger, author of a very consistent race yesterday, ahead of Nicky Hayden, also looking for redemption after his crash in Race 1, and teammate Jordi Torres, who crashed with just a few moments to go before the end of the session: in pain, he was immediately helped by the track staff but there shouldn't be any problems today.

Eighth time for Alex Lowes, still sore in his shoulder but still able to get on the track: the young rider of the Pata Crescent Yamaha team suffered a bit of fatigue and pain yesterday at the end, running into an off-track exit which he did not allowed him to achieve the good fourth place he had occupied up to that point.
The question mark today will therefore be his physical fitness for all 21 scheduled laps, given that the plate that was applied to his shoulder will eventually rub against his suit and prevent him from moving correctly.

Competing in the top 10 of the chronometric references are Michael Van Der Mark, determined to repeat the podium in Race 1, and Leon Camier: the same goes for Davies too.

Meet at 13pm with the start of Race 00.
