Description

Brands Hatch saw the eighth round of the amazing World Superbikes championship take place. LB was on hand to provide full coverage of the event. With galleries covering each day of the action, interviews to come with the top racers and more on the Podcast.

Troy Bayliss (Ducati Xerox), attired in ‘Superman Returns’ leathers and artwork, scored the race one win at Brands Hatch, where 115,000 spectators enjoyed the race action over the entire weekend. In the second 25-lap outing Noriyuki Haga (Yamaha Motor Italia) prevented Bayliss from doing the double in thrilling fashion, beating the championship leader by only 0.184 seconds. The local crowd got a treat, when James Toseland (Winston Ten Kate Honda) scored a podium finish of second in race one. In the championship battle, Bayliss now leads Haga by 77 points, 307 to 230, with Toseland overall third, on 219.

We would like to thank the dedicated people at St Johns Ambulance for providing them with the support they needed to make this coverage possible.
