Ducati rider edges Pegram to be best of the WorldSBK riders

Former Dutch champion Jan Dekker, nicknamed ‘DoubleDekker’ led a darts masterclass in the paddock as a prelude to the 4th round of the eni FIM Superbike World Championship.

Michael van der Mark (Pata Honda World Superbike Team), Randy de Puniet (Voltcom Crescent Suzuki), Leon Haslam (Aprilia Racing Team), Chaz Davies (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati Superbike Team), Tom Sykes (Kawasaki Racing Team), Ayrton Badovini (BMW Motorrad Italia), and Larry Pegram (Team Hero EBR) joined Dekker, going head to head to see who come out on top in the first competition of the weekend.

The WorldSBK stars were cheered on by a vast crowd that were enjoying the open paddock at the Cathedral of Speed.

Larry Pegram had the attendants laughing boasting that he was the 3 times Ohio State champion before being the only rider hit the bullseye.

At the end of a fun filled pre-event it was the Aragon race 2 winner Chaz Davies who was triumphant against his on-track rivals and was awarded with a personalised set of darts for his trouble.

An autograph session lasting 90 minutes preceeds the event press conference which is scheduled to start at 4:30pm local time.
