Sykes memang kencang pada awal balap sepanjang 25 lap itu. Start dari pole, langsung mengasapi Sylvain Guintoli dan Marco Melandri, juga Eugene Laverty dan Davide Giugliano di grup terdepan.
Balap terhenti pertama kali ketika Alex Lowes akan menyalip Loris Baz di tikungan Corkscrew. Rider Voltcom Crescent Suzuki itu terbalik dan merosot turunan di tikungan ternama Laguna Seca itu. Lowes dibawa ke pusat medis dan diduga cedera pergelangan kaki.
Balap kemudian distart ulang dan diperpendek jadi 7 lap. Namun sisa 2 lap, kembali terjadi kecelakaan, Sylvain Barrier kehilangan kontrol atas motor BMWnya di tikungan terakhir. Cukup parah, Barrier langsung dibawa ke pusat medis. Kabar terakhir, ia sudah sadar dan bisa bicara pada paramedis.
Balap direstart lagi dengan Sykes tetap pada pole, namun aksinya kian berat dengan Guintoli dan Melandri merapat. Meski akhirnya Melandri melebar dan tergelincir keluar lomba. Sykes pun mendapuk kemenangannya. (otosport.co.id)
