Description

After Haga’s extraordinary double win at Monza recently, everybody was looking to Silverstone with great interest. Since Friday, thanks to gloomy weather forecasts which urged everyone to use every moment of dry track time to the full, the best times were improved on. SBK riders beat not only their own track records but also the BSB prototype reference times.

Heavy rains made for an unpredictable first race at Silverstone but at the time of its completion no one knew that race two would also have to be cancelled because of the atrocious weather. The only eventual race winner was also the Superpole winner, Troy Bayliss (Ducati Xerox) who took a margin of victory over Noriyuki Haga (Yamaha Motor Italia) of two seconds. Third on the podium was early leader, Troy Corser (Yamaha Motor Italia), four seconds down after some great games of high risk between the leading trio in treacherous conditions.
