12 July 2010
Both Leon Haslam and Sylvain Guintoli hoped that solutions had been found to the problems in practice and qualifying, but while Guintoli took fourth in race 1 - in front of 64,000 fans - and a seventh in race two, Haslam's struggles continued: It was never going to be easy for the Briton, starting from the fourth row of the grid, but lack of grip in both races meant that he could only finish eighth in race one and 10th in race two. Both riders were using the new Pirelli tyres, which seem to be causing difficulties setting up the bike.
