FIM Supersport World Championship

Australia rules in round 6 of the Supersport World Championship at the Nurburgring. The victory went to Andrew Pitt (Hanspree Ten Kate Honda), who held off Joshua Brookes (Hannspree Stiggy Motorsport Honda) in an exciting final couple of laps. With the win, his third of the season, Pitt moves into the lead of the championship. Third went to Broc Parkes (Yamaha World Supersport), who led for most of the race and he was followed by Yamaha teammate Fabien Foret, Craig Jones (Parkalgar Honda) and Jonathan Rea (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda). Former points leader, Joan Lascorz (Glaner Motocard.com Honda) from Spain, could only finish 12th. The unluckiest rider of the day was Britain's Tommy Hill (Hannspree Honda Althea), who returned to racing at the German round after recovering from serious pre-season testing injuries, but who broke his right leg again in the first corner crash sparked off by Tode (G-Lab Racing Triumph). Hill is returning to the UK where he will be operated on tomorrow.

Superstock 1000 FIM Cup

There was a spectacular end to the fourth round of the Superstock 1000 FIM Cup with a three-way sprint to the line. The win went to Brendan Roberts (Ducati Xerox Junior Team), who got the better of Davide Giugliano (Cruciani Moto Suzuki) and Xavier Simeon (Suzuki Alstare), who holds on to his championship lead. Fourth place went to Italian Michele Pirro (Yamaha Lorenzini by Leoni), who was unable to keep up with the leading trio after a good start. Matej Smrz (MS Racing Honda) recovered from a poor start to pass Claudio Corti (Yamaha Motor Italia Junior Team) for fifth two laps from the end. Maxime Berger (Hannspree IDS Ten Kate Honda) went wide at the first corner to avoid the crashing riders ahead of him (Perotti, Schouten and Barrier), but then recovered from 21st to finish seventh.
