British Superbikes

John Laverty moved inside the top ten of the championship at Silverstone. A great qualifying saw John go all the way to the final qualifying stage ultimately taking 6th and the second row. Race 1 saw John in a long battle with Sylain Guintoli swapping positions all race John finally got the better of Sylain to come home in a very strong 6th place. Race 2 John was confident of increasing his pace to drive further up the field and set about closing the 1.5 second gap to 5th place Tommy Hill. With five laps to go John caught and passed Tommy, determined to pull away John pulled a 0.5 second gap over Tommy in half a lap but disaster struck when John crashed at priory corner. Although the final result was disappointing for Johns, his lap times were fantastic and he's now only 8 points behind 8th place in the overall championship standings.

Tristan Palmer arrived at Silverstone keen to overturn his Croft gremlins, although hampered with a broken knuckle from a training crash on his mountain bike.
