Rookie rider Ryuichi Kiyonari claimed his first wins on the World Superbike stage with an impressive double at Brands Hatch. The Honda rider, the reigning British Superbike champion, drew on his knowledge of the Fawkham track to outclass his more recognised rivals. Kiyonari chased down runaway championship leader Troy Bayliss in the opening race to claim his maiden victory before battling it out with his Japanese countryman and 11-year veteran Noriyuki Haga in race two.

Ryuichi Kiyonari, 25 anni, ha dominato il GP di Gran Bretagna, decima prova del Mondiale Superbike, precedendo nella prima gara Troy Bayliss e Max Biaggi. Nella seconda, con i due assi Ducati indietro, Kiyonari ha regolato le Yamaha di Haga e Corser.
