World Superbikes – Donington – Saturday Morning Report

Cold tyres followed and the morning session was punctuated with bikes hitting the scenery; for instance, Biaggi chucked both his bikes down the road, presumably to the ire of his mechanics who have to get them both ready for the 13:45 free practice.
