With the wet weather having conditioned sessions across Friday and Saturday, the SBK field was not surprised to face cold, damp conditions for the morning warm-up, with most riders choosing not to exit so as to avoid any unnecessary risks. Norrodin completed just a couple of laps, while Mackenzie remained in the garage. 

Conditions remained cold but dry for the ten-lap Superpole sprint race. From fourteenth, Mackenzie lost ground through lap one, slipping to eighteenth and giving himself work to do as the race progressed. Doing his best to get into a rhythm, the British rider was able to gain one position during this brief sprint, crossing the line seventeenth. Twenty-first on the grid, Norrodin did his best to stick with the riders immediately ahead but soon lost contact. On lap five, Adam took the decision to pit, having struggled with an electronics issue. 

The second and final 21-lap Superbike race started in the dry at 2pm local time (CET). Mackenzie held fourteenth through the first corners, while Norrodin moved into twenty-first a couple of laps in. The Malaysian made up another position on lap five, while the Brit found a good rhythm, battling with fellow Honda rider Vierge during the central phase of the race for twelfth place. Rain began to fall with eleven laps to go but did not overly impact on the action, with the track surface soon drying again. Fighting all the way to the line to reach the top ten, Mackenzie retained a strong pace throughout and crossed the line an encouraging eleventh, just one tenth of a second from tenth. Norrodin was determined to complete the race and collect more important data, the young Malaysian crossing the line twentieth. 

With the seven points scored this weekend, Mackenzie now places nineteenth in the general standings, while Norrodin is yet to score points. The PETRONAS MIE Racing Honda Team now has a long wait for the fourth WorldSBK round, which will run at the Misano World Circuit in Italy over the weekend of 14-16 June.
