Barrier wins again for BMW in Superstock 1000

Sylvain Barrier (BMW Motorrad Italia GoldBet) won a tricky Superstock contest held in cold but mostly dry conditions, which was eventually red-flagged due to oil on the track.


The intended 13 lap race distance therefore became eight. It was Barrier's second win of the year, after his victory at Imola. Team-mates Lorenzo Savadori (Barni Racing Team Italia) and Eddi La Marra (Barni Racing Team Italia) took their Panigale machines to second and third respectively, close behind the French rider. Loris Baz (MRS Kawasaki) went fourth in race during which some big names were forced out by falls or technical issues.


In the championship Barrier has a perfect 50 points, with Baz second on 33 and La Mara third on 32.
