IN THE WIND P48 HASLAM, BYRNE TOP BRANDS HATCH BRITISH SUPERBIKE T he second round of the Brit- ish Superbike Championship was held at the Brands Hatch Indy circuit, April 14-15, and it was the old war horses of Shane Byrne (Ducati) and Leon Haslam (Kawasaki) who took the wins in a dry/wet weekend. Championship round-one win- ner Bradley Ray took second to Byrne in race one but could only manage seventh in the damp race two. Byrne came home in fourth in race two. Haslam made up for the disappointment of race one's fourth with a win in race two from Ducati's Glenn Irwin and BMW's Michael Laverty. In the Superstock 1000 series Andy Reid took race one on his Aprilia with Billy McConnell com- ing back for the race two win on the factory Suzuki. The Supersport category saw Jack Kennedy (Yamaha) take both wins with American James Rispoli (Yamaha) a popular sec- ond in race two.
