Red Bull Honda World Superbike Team prepares for an emotional UK round

The Red Bull #honda World Superbike Team has reached Donington Park to take part, with heavy hearts, in the sixth round of the 2017 #fimsuperbikeworldchampionship. The whole team will be remembering and celebrating the life of the late Nicky Hayden by doing what he liked the most: #racing. His #honda CBR1000RR Fireblade SP2 machine will be present within the pit-box throughout the whole weekend alongside the one of his team mate Stefan Bradl, who will be the sole rider on track for the team at this round.

Bradl returns to Donington Park for the first time since 2009, when he was #racing in the 125cc World Championship; that was, in fact, the last time the East Midlands Circuit hosted a motorcycle Grand Prix event. The 27-year-old German rider will have to re-learn the track on the much more powerful 1000cc #honda WorldSBK-spec machine.

The Red Bull #honda World Superbike Team and series promoter Dorna will pay tribute to Nicky Hayden through various initiatives, including a minute’s silence on the grid at 14:00 local time (GMT +1) on Saturday, which will involve riders, teams and fans.
