Leonov keeps his fingers crossed for Misano

One lap. No more than one lap on Saturday free practice in Donington Park, and the Vladimir Leonov fifth stage of WSS is finished. He entered the circuit with a good smile. First practice was good, and instead of the stone that broken the radiator and obliged him to stay in the box for more than 20 minutes, in only three fast laps he signed a promising 10th position. During the night mechanics prepared the bike to fits his request even better, and a significantly better performance was possible for Vladimir and Yakhnich Motorsport Yamaha R6.

But for some reasons destiny decided it wasn’t our weekend. Vladimir entered the circuit, made is flying lap, and just when he was starting the first full lap, at corner 3, suddenly he loose the rear tyre and a terrible high side was the end of his week-end.

WSBK may come to Russia

The World Superbike (WSBK) racing championship is becoming more Europe-oriented.
The WSBK 2011 calendar still has two rounds to go, and both of them will be held far from Europe and require long trips – one to Australia’s Phillip Island and the other to the U.S. track at Miller Motorsports Park.

Rumor has it that the championship’s management is actively looking for new tracks, and one of the requirements is that the trip to them would not call for long-hour flights.
