Guarnoni wins, Barrier retains title
Jeremy Guarnoni (MRS Kawasaki) has won on home soil in the FIM Superstock 1000 cup race for a repeat performance of his last year's maiden victory in the series. The Frenchman led the entire race, that was reduced to 9 laps following the horrific crash sustained by Christoffer Bergman (BWG Racing Kawasaki) that, along with the oil on track caused by Sebastien Suchet's (Team BSR Honda) following incident, brought to a Red Flag situation. The Swedish rider is undergoing a CAT scan at the local hospital, but he is awake and has full body movement.
While Niccolò Canepa (Barni Racing Ducati) and Lorenzo Savadori (Team Pedercini Kawasaki) completed the podium, fourth place Sylvain Barrier (BMW Motorrad GoldBet) successfully retained the STK1000 title at the end of a tactical race with no risks taken.
