On an awful day for Marco Melandri (BMW), who crashed in each of the two races and left with zero points, Max Biaggi (Aprilia) re-took the points lead at the Nürburgring yesterday with a win in Race 1 and a valuable three points in Race 2 after recovering from his own crash. Chaz Davies (Aprilia) took his first ever WSB win in Race 2, following a third place finish in Race 1. Eugene Laverty (Aprilia) finished second in each of the two races, while Leon Camier (Suzuki) took the third spot in Race 2.

Still rooting for Sykes!!
Outside chance, but I like em dark horses. He definitely has the speed.
nurburgring impacted the WSBK championship, very similiar to how indy impacted the MotoGP championship. logic dictates the track should be dropped. this is sarcasm btw.
Melandri had a really good shot at the championship until crashing in both of these races. Not that he’s out of contention, but a couple of good finishes could have sewn it up tight for him. I’m guessing BMW would have paid handsomely for that.
