The 2013 WorldSBK champion was competitive throughout his home round as he out-qualified teammꦚate Scott Redding and nearly finished ahead of him in Race 1.

But after a P18 finish in the Superpole Race, which led to✤ him sta🌌rting much further down the order, Sykes then suffered a monster highside on lap one of Race 2. 

• Petrucci: “Nobody will pay the bill, but🦂 I'll drink a lot of beers” 
• Rea: “We deserved more than third”, R💫ace 2 “I struggled so bad”

Sykes was violenty sent airbone before a knock-on effect of ♎his♊ accident led to Loris Baz hitting Michael Ruben Rinaldi.

Baz managed to avoid any inju🅰ry, however, Rinaldi suffered a concussion and right ankle injury.
