TOUGH TEST FOR SYKES AS HE BATTLES ILLNESS AT KYALAMI

Yamaha Italia's Tom Sykes had a tough time at the Kyalami World Superbike tests in South Africa after being struck down with a bug on day one meaning he didn't get anything like the track time he needed.

The Huddersfield youngster, who won three British Superbike races this year, ended the three-day session  couple of seconds off team-mate Ben Spies.

“It’s been a tough test! I missed one and half days through this bug I’ve had so was a long way behind with laps," said Sykes. "When I got out I still managed to get some good laps in and the team were brilliant, they improved the bike massively every time I came in. I’ve got a very sore shoulder from falling today but it’s nothing serious.”
