Superbikes: Tyke Sykes on song
YORKSHIREMAN Tom Sykes scorched to his second pole start of the season for today’s third round of World Superbikes at Assen.
I’m pleasantly surprised by this as, coming here, I wasn’t expecting it.
He set a record-busting time of one minute 35.043 to head an all-British front row. Sykes, 27, said: “I’m pleasantly surprised by this as, coming here, I wasn’t expecting it.”
Jonathan Rea, riding the Pata Honda, and Aprilia’s Eugene Laverty complete the front row.
