[edit] Overview

In celebration of the 20th anniversary a parade lap of former Superbike stars and champions was organised featuring Fred Merkel, Aaron Slight, Scott Russell, Piergiorgio Bontempi, Peter Goddard, Marco Lucchinelli, Davide Tardozzi, Fabrizio Pirovano, Roger Burnett, James Whitham, Pierfrancesco Chili, Neil Hodgson and John Reynolds.

On lap six of the first World Superbike race of the day, Troy Bayliss crashed at Coppice corner. His right hand was momentarily caught between the handle bar and the frame of the motorcycle during the crash; the resulting injury required the surgical removal of the intermediate and distal phalanges of his little finger. In the same incident he also suffered an injury to the groin described by the rider as a split atom.^[1]
