Rizla takes on the world - with <I>Crash.net!</I>

Tom Sykes has been rewarded for his World Superbike performance at Brands Hatch with the chance to impress once again at the Donington Park round of the championship next month.

Sykes hit the headlines at Brands Hatch when he qualified on the second row of the grid before proceeding to very nearly score a podium in the first race of the weekend. He would eventually come away with a seventh place finish in the second race after being forced to retire with a damaged radiator in the first one.

Tom Sykes has been rewarded for his World Superbike performance at Brands Hatch with the chance to impress once again at the Donington Park round of the championship next month.

Sykes hit the headlines at Brands Hatch when he qualified on the second row of the grid before proceeding to very nearly score a podium in the first race of the weekend. He would eventually come away with a seventh place finish in the second race after being forced to retire with a damaged radiator in the first one.

Although there were no plans for Rizla Suzuki to compete in both British-based World Superbike rounds, Sykes's performance has seemingly prompted them to find the necessary funding to get back on the world stage - and Crash.net will be there to keep you regularly updated throughout the weekend.

Your leading motorsport website will be at Donington Park, shadowing the Rizla team in their bid to take on and beat World Superbike stars, including Troy Bayliss, Noriyuki Haga, Max Biaggi and Brands Hatch double winner Ryuichi Kiyonari.

Furthermore, Rizla will have stiff competition from some familiar faces after HM Plant Honda confirmed their participation with Cal Crutchlow and Leon Haslam, while Hydrex Bike Animal Honda will also enter a bike for James Ellison.

So, be sure to log onto Crash.net on 4th September to 7th September for exclusive interviews, audio and 'fly on the wall' insight from one of the most popular teams on the British scene, as well as interviews with more of the world's leading riders.
