During today's FIM World Supersport race, at 1.32pm Italian rider Andrea Antonelli (Team Goeleven Kawasaki) suffered a serious accident on the straight between Turn 14 and Turn 15 wherein he sustained critical injuries. The race was stopped with the red flag and the rider was immediately taken to an ambulance where the medical staff worked to resuscitate him. 


Despite their efforts, Andrea sadly succumbed to his injuries at 2.10pm local time. FIM, Dorna and YMS Promotion decided to cancel all activities scheduled for the rest of the day. Everyone involved in motorcycle championships extends its deepest condolences to Andrea's family, friends, team and Italian Federation at this tragic loss.

WSBK Race 1 at the Moscow Raceway was extremely dramatic, Melandri won.

The 25 laps race had very extreme weather and track conditions, dry at the start, a rain shower that left standing water in certain parts of the circuit and dry in other sections, which was followed by a massive monsoon rain shower, and an unexpected outcome. 
In these horrible and tricky racing conditions Marco Melandri took his third victory of the season, and completing the very wet podium was Chaz Davies and Ayrton Badovini, and the championship lead returned into the hands of Sylvain Guintoli.
