Assen: Pitt and Rea Swap Lead Every Lap Forget SBK – WSS is the One to Watch Now... World Supersport: Pitt, Rea, Lascorz Andrew Pitt won the World Supersport race by just 14 thousandths of a second from his Ten Kate Honda team mater Jonny Rea after the two had duelled for the lead throughout the entire 21 lap race. Third place went to Lascorz, with Foret fourth and Parkes fifth. Craig Jones had run with the front runners for most of the staggeringly close race before fading in the final laps. SERT Suzuki's Matthieu Lagrive finished just three seconds behind the leaders, but crossed the line in tenth place; that's how close this race was from start to finish. If you only watch one race this weekend, make it this one: Full Race: www.worldsbk.com/pubb_EN/popup.php?id=99 WSS Championship Standings SBK Race 1: Bayliss, Checa, Neukirchner Kagayama leads and then pushes Bayliss before fading to fourth. Haga touches Xaus while passing on the inside, causing both to crash. Bayliss opens up a comfortable lead with seven laps to go. Checa comes from behind to work his way up to second. SBK Race 2: Bayliss, Haga, Checa Haga hounds Bayliss all the way but fails to take the race win by just under a tenth of a second despite trying everything in his power on the final lap. Checa once again bubbled to the front by the end of the race. SBK Championship Standings Bayliss now has 70 points – almost three race wins – in hand over his rivals. Word in the paddock has it that he will skip the Salt Lake City race, preferring to spend his time working the one-arm-bandits in Las Vegas instead.
