The Belgian points leader Simeon has again raced his Ducati Xerox Junior bike to the finish-line first, with just over a 2.5 second lead. Simeon made excellent use of the Pirelli DIABLO SUPERCORSA SC2’s quick warm up time, getting on the gas early and holding a competitive throughout the race. Simeon, who has been undefeated for four races, was also able to break the lap record set by last year’s Superstock 1000 champion Brendan Roberts, registering a new time just under the 2-minute mark of 1’59.933.
The Ducati of Simeon was followed by Assen race winner Maxime Berger on the Honda, and Javier Fores of Spain on his Kawasaki ZX10-R who completed the podium. Disappointing results from Italian Claudio Corti of Suzuki Alstare BRUX, although he had not qualified well on Saturday and was grided 13th, he managed to fight through the field and maintain a strong pace long enough to finish up eight places to 5th. With the Superstock class having participation from eight manufacturers, the Pirelli DIABLO SUPERCORSA SC2 is confirmed again as a highly diverse solution for stock-production motorcycle racing.
