Sylvain Barrier wins Race 1
Sylvain Barrier (BMW Motorrad GoldBet) scored his fourth race win of the season after the first Superstock 1000 race of the day was red flagged on the final lap, following the crash by Jaroslav Cerny (SK Energy - Fany Gastro Ducati), substitute rider for Tomas Svitok. As the final results reverted back to the previous lap, Jeremy Guarnoni (MRS Kawasaki) finished second, even though he was leading the action before the race was stopped.
Eddi La Marra (Barni Racing Ducati) ended up third ahead of team mate Niccolò Canepa and Team Pedercini Kawasaki's Lorenzo Savadori, Leandro Mercado and Alessandro Andreozzi: all these riders were involved, along with Barrier and Guarnoni, in the amazing 7-way battle that characterised most of the race.
There were some moments of tension between Barrier and La Marra after the race, as the Italian was not happy about an overtaking manoeuvre made by the French on the straight, that led to a small collision.
The second race for the FIM Superstock 1000 Cup will take place this afternoon at 5:25 pm.
