The forecast might have promised a rare sunny weekend but it wouldn’t have been Britain without a splash of rain to tease us. Rain falling intermittently in the morning dampened the track so the lightweight class went out on wet tyres on a slowly drying cold track – although little surprise that several riders bided their time before joining the action.

While riders were reporting the track was too wet for slicks in some parts and too dry for wets in others, Fenati braved a change to slick tyres in the final five minutes, showing that to be the better option as he went two seconds faster than the rest. He only went to improve that by another second, leaving his rivals to fight for ‘best of the rest’.
