The weather forecast doesn't look good for tomorow with rain and cold temperatures, the moto2 race will start 1 hour earlier and will be the first race of the day following by motogp and 125cc.
Cold wet and windy Silverstone moto2 practices
Not much to say today, if the first practice was on a dry racetrack the second practice was useless, it was wet for the motogp but it start to dry and by the time the moto2 went on track there it was drying even faster except for a few corners so it became a waiting game.
Kenan and Dominique wait until the last ten minutes before going out, Dominique did spend a couple of laps more than Kenan so he was able to find dryer line. Looking at the lap-time this session didn't help for the bike set-up so wait and see tomorow.
Catalunya the day after
First laps of the race,Dominique had a good start and Kenan was cacthing.
Dominique still leading Kenan
Before incidents occured it was good to see both Technomag-CIP riders together
After collidding with Julian Kenan wet to him to apologize. Kenan saw Julian starting to struggle with rear grip and Kenan was catching but he misdjuged Julian speed going into the corner and touch his rear wheel.
Later on the team did check Kenan's race data, Kenan was doing the same speed and line as his previous laps.

This morning on the wet Kenan was fast during the warm-up setting the 3rd fastest time, so he was hoping for the rain but it didn't happen as the race track start to dry out during the 125cc race, Dominique was a little slower but the feeling from the bike was not too bad. As the race start both Dominique and Kenan found themself in the leading group and soon we could see our riders lapping together in 4th and 5th position.
But it wasn't going to last, with 8 laps to go to Dominique lost the front end of his Suter machine while he was figthing for the 5th place, moment later Kenan clip the rear wheel of J.Simon while in 3rd position, that was a nasty crash, unfortunately Julian Simon broke his femur and Kenan was sending to hospital to check his wrist previously broken in the past.
