Saturday Morning

It was a damp warm-up this morning, with the two BMWs up in the top five for much of the session. Times finally dropped as a dry line appeared, but the heavens opened properly in time for the first of the support races.

SERT Suzuki (1:42.449) were quickest, with QERT (1:43.486) second, Kawasaki France (1:44.084) third, Zone Rouge (1:44.593) fourth and Yamaha Phase One (1:45.828) fifth.

The weather forecast for the rest of the weekend is not looking good.

Friday Evening

Yamaha Austria's pit display was the most popular in the paddock; this photo was taken about an hour before the pit-walk was supposed to have started.

Kawasaki France have got the biggest dog in the paddock; no danger of anyone getting too close here.

SERT's Vincent Philippe is always happy to help with some colouring-in.

Kicos Endurance "bring a welcome touch of glamour" to pit lane.

It wouldn't be Oschersleben without sausages.

Proper big bikes in the paddock.

Mr Cudlin Senior (left) has two teams to support; Damian with YART and Alex with Diablo. And (right) let's not forget that there's a race to prepare for.
