Press releases from the World Superbike teams and series organizer after Sunday's incident-packed races at Laguna Seca:
Melandri heads Aprilia one-two in first race
Submitted by Jared Earle on
Race two at Laguna Seca would be started without two riders, and with the red flags brought out the grids for restarts would be further reduced.
Chaz Davies was disappointed not to be able to start race two, being declared until to race having taken a hit to the head in race one. His only complaint was dust in his eyes from the gravel. Aaron Yates also missed out on the start.

As the riders relaxed on the grid before the race, Eugene Laverty's Suzuki had the tank off and the throttle bodies on a towel on the tarmac as his engineers hurried to fix a problem. The 21°C Californian sun ensured that anyone who would start would do so on a hot dry track.

Press releases from the series organizer and World Superbike teams after Saturday's qualfying at Laguna Seca:
Sykes raises the bar with pole position and new best lap
Submitted by Jared Earle on
Qualifying at Laguna Seca was in unsurprisingly glorious Californian weather, with the dry lake bowl providing the usual entertainment, in spite of there being no long straights on the short, but exceedingly popular, track. With the Corkscrew getting the column inches, the last turn, the first gear turn 11, is the one that catches most people out, and it caught a rider out in Superpole Two.

Unlike the usual schedule, with limited pit space causing the absence of World Supersport and requiring all manner of logistical shifts, all three timed qualifying sessions took place on the Friday, with the entries to Superpole decided yesterday.
