There is a chance of rain for tomorrow, that should be excellent as all the races yet were in dry weather this season.

What an amazing lap by Max, well done. Bayliss was great as usual, and Checa was brilliant again, and Nitro is just amazing. I loved the interviews, especially Max's use of the 'F' word. I think he will get some ribbing from his team and other riders. The SSTK 600 race was a nice battle as well. Can't wait for tomorrows race.

It's obviously a lot worse than Nori's shoulder.

Or Nori is taking better drugs for the pain, after all, he's flying

The Superstock 1000 race was so great. For me, Giugliano was the star of the race. Sliding, sliding, more sliding, overtaking in difficult corners.

Results:
1 Brendan Roberts (AUS - Ducati)
2 Davide Giugliano (I - Suzuki)
3 Xavier Siméon (B - Suzuki)

My countryman Siméon holds the lead in the championship, 10 points before Brendan Roberts.

You can follow all the races live with a live-streaming on the official SBK site.

Superstock steals the show for mine every round.

Its the fact that some of those guys are learning their craft but are so damn fast. Anything can happen!

So many different lines and just when you think the race is blown to bits the guy out front with a clear lead throws it to the weeds.

My countryman Brendan Roberts has a lot to prove, perhaps if not for the wrist injury last year he would be official tester at Ducati MotoGP.

Simeon is on the cards to move to the Alstare Supers team in the next 2 years.

Of course!!
