WSBK Cuts Friday morning practice

Even the WSBK Championship like MotoGP is trying to save pennies in the global economic crisis and are thinking of reducing practice time and limiting the number of engines used in each race weekend.
The Superbike Commission composed of Paolo Falmmini, Claude Denis and Paolo Bardi met March 1st at Phillip Island and have decided that in the next meetings they will discuss further cost saving measures.

At the moment the only rule change to come into effect from March 31, 2009 are practice restrictions and will affect all three championships: Superbike, Supersport and Superstock.
