Troy Bayliss (Ducati Xerox) and Ryuichi Kiyonari (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda) powered to the two wins in the eleventh round of the HANNspree FIM Superbike World Championship, which was held in front of 45,000 spectators at Donington Park. In difficult track and weather conditions, the Australian won the first race, but then crashed out in the second, leaving his Japanese rival to take his third win of the year.
Race 1
Bayliss's chief rivals for the title were all eliminated and the Australian went on to break his jinx at the Leicestershire track. The race was interrupted for the first time when Noriyuki Haga (Yamaha Motor Italia) deposited oil on the track, while Max Neukirchner (Alstare Suzuki), Carlos Checa (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda) and Kiyonari crashed out. The second podium slot went to British wild-card Tom Sykes (Rizla Suzuki) ahead of Max Biaggi (Sterilgarda Go Eleven Ducati), who moved onto the podium after team-mate Ruben Xaus had crashed after the red flags had been brought out for rain. Gregorio Lavilla (VentAxia Honda) had a good run to finish fourth ahead of Yukio Kagayama (Suzuki Alstare) and Jakub Smrz (Guandalini Ducati), while Roberto Rolfo (Althea Honda) missed a chance for a good result when he crashed out of fourth overall and Corser notched up his sixth crash of the weekend.
Troy Bayliss (Ducati Xerox): "I've been coming to Donington since 1998 and so am pretty happy with that race win. All weekend everything has been going great, we've had mixed conditions but we've been strong in both dry and wet. I was basically racing my lapboard the whole time because of the aggregate time and could have settled for second but I haven't won here before and so really wanted the win."
Tom Sykes (Rizla Suzuki): "I was a bit disappointed they stopped the first part because I felt my pace was a bit stronger than Troy's. In the second part the bike got off the line well, but then I made a mistake and misread one of the flags and also had a moment. But Troy was too quick today, he broke me with his fast laps so congratulations to him."
Max Biaggi (Sterilgarda Go Eleven Ducati): "I was already in the pit taking off my leathers and someone from the organization called me onto the podium so it was a bit of a surprise for me to take third place. My team made a very good change between the two parts and actually everything was very good, we made a good job."
Race 2
Kiyonari was back at the front in the second race after his crash in race 1. The Honda rider took his third win of the season, holding off a late surge from Cal Crutchlow (HM Plant Honda). The final podium slot went to a battered and bruised Corser, who finished his difficult weekend with a gutsy third place. James Ellison (Hydrex Bike Animal Honda) was fourth, ahead of Italians Michel Fabrizio (Ducati Xerox) and Biaggi. The race was held in the pouring rain, and the tricky conditions caught out Bayliss (Ducati), who crashed while in second place. Race 2 was again disappointing for Neukirchner and Checa, while Haga was black-flagged for not coming in for a ride-through penalty.
Ryuichi Kiyonari (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda): "It was very difficult for me, the race was hard and I made a few mistakes because I pushed very hard. At the start of the race it was just too wet, which made things even more difficult, but I had a good setting and a good machine. The last ten laps were even tougher because Cal was getting closer and closer all the time!"
Cal Crutchlow (HM Plant Honda): "We thought maybe in the dry we would have the advantage because we had a race here before, but it's a fantastic result for myself and the team, we've both put a lot of effort in this weekend. To come out in the second race after having a technical problem in race 1 is fantastic, all credit to our guys, but I'd like to dedicate that result to Jonesy."
Troy Corser (Yamaha Motor Italia WSB): "This is one of the toughest weekends we've had, the conditions out here were quite slippery in practice, qualifying and the races. I had six highsides before the first race and another one there, so I'm pretty sore. But thanks to the guys, they've done a great job repairing the bike and getting it back on the track."
