The WSBK Races:
The first race of the
season saw Leon Haslam and Michel Fabrizio race to the flag locked together.
Some time passed before the official announcement that Haslam had won his first
World Superbike Race by the tightest margin in WSBK History, 0.004 of one
second. Race two also held a surprise when a non works Ducati in the hands of
Carlos Checa won the race from Haslam and the works Ducatis.
RACE 1:
Staggering, a huge lead in to what promises to be a 'very competitive' WSBK
season. From pole position Leon Haslam on the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 won by the
barest of margins from Michel Fabrizio, followed by Nori Haga both mounted on
Ducati 1198 F10's.
