If you happened to miss the British Supebike season opener at Brands Hatch yesterday or if your country doesn’t televise it, we’ve got a couple of highlight videos so you can get your racing fix.
Shane Byrne made his return to the British championship taking the win in race 1 admist a pretty caotic race, that saw several spectacular crashes that included Michael Laverty, who amazingly walked away unharmed, while Australian Josh Brookes also had his own big one off that left him unable to compete in race 2.
Reigning Superbike champion Ryuichi Kiyonari lucked out when he suffered a mechanical issue just eight laps in.
And if you’re wondering how former MotoGP rider John Hopkins fared, he finished just 17th in the first race.
Race 2 saw Tommy Hill take the win from an almost another sure victory by Byrnes despite nursing an injured elbow picked up in last week’s testing session, his win and second place in race 1 sent him to the top of the standings.
Ryuichi Kiyonari took second and Brynes had to settle for third.
Hopkins made a comeback to take 5th.
