Track - WSBK Silverstone Race 1 - Baz takes first win


After a rain drenched superpole session, Loris Baz (Factory Kawasaki) took his first win in WSBK, becoming the second youngest winner ever.  Drafted in hastily after Joan Lacorz's terrible accident at the beginning of the eyar, Baz showed his wet weather prowess on a drying track to beat the BMW Italia bikes of Michel Fabrizio and Ayrton Badovini.  Badovini and Jonathan Rea (fourth) took the battle right up to the line and came together at the chequered flag, leaving their bikes on the track for other finishers to dodge. 

Reigning champion Carlos Checa was fifth, and championship leader Max Biaggi was a late faller.
