2013 Donington World Superbike QP1 Results: Sykes Flies The Flag In British Weather

Submitted by Jared Earle on

Rain closed the session once more, with Tom Sykes claiming provisional pole position with a time two and a half seconds slower than his qualifying record from last year. Jonathan Rea is making good his promise to perform well here, at a track that doesn't require outright speed, as seen by the top speeds being a good 70kmh slower than at Aragon or Monza.

Sykes crashed out at the old hairpin as the conditions got worse, but he escaped without injury.

I'm looking forward to a fist full of Fantasy Road Race team points with Tom and Eugene.... but I think Chas Davies could be a spoiler for me....Isn't it great to have so many potential British winners.

Just wanted to say that you're doing a great job. You couldn't pay me enough to write race reports in the shadow of David, and yet you're really kicking some serious ass.

Well done. Keep 'em comin'!

Jared is a perfect fit here - and has his own style, which is fitting as MotoGP and WSB are their own entities too.
