Bikes are now on course at Sears Point Raceway after an 80-minute delay due to problems with the communication system between corner stations and race control.

Sections of Air Fence have been deployed along with haybales for the practice day, which includes individual 20-minute sessions for 600cc Supersport, Formula Extreme, 750cc Superstock, 250cc Grand Prix and Superbike machines.

According to Sears Point officials, riders will get all their sessions, and their sessions will be full length, despite the delay in starting.
