2012 Silverstone WSBK FP2: Camier Delivers Dry Result
Submitted by Jared Earle on Sat, 2012-08-04 12:22
In the first full dry session of the weekend, with rain only making an ineffectual appearance 35 seconds from the flag, Leon Camier continued his good form with the session's fastest time, ahead of Jakub Smrz. Tom Sykes and Carlos Checa maintained their pace with third and fourth fastest times respectively, while rookie Loris Baz just pipped a confident-looking John Hopkins.
Max Biaggi had a crash which looked reminiscent of Randy Mamola's famous rodeo save, only without the save at the end, finishing his practice session and putting him behind his title rival Marco Melandri.
