There's a stoppage for Xavi Vierge exiting turn five. Looks like possibly a mechanical. He's pushed the bike across the track, so he should be able to get back to the paddock and into the pits fairly quickly from there.

FP1 begins
The green light is lit at the end of pit lane and we are underway for 45 minutes of WorldSBK FP1 in Assen.

Bulega and Razgatlioglu have dominated the season so far, but the maximum fuel flow has been adjusted coming into this weekend for BMW and Ducati only as a performance balancing measure.
Both brands have had their maximum fuel flow limit reduced by 0.5kg/h to 46.5kg/h, while Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki, and Bimota all remain with the 47kg/h that they started the year with.
FP1 will be our first chance to get some indication of whether this change has a legible effect on performance, although the true tests will come later in the weekend in Superpole and the three races on Saturday and Sunday.

Nicolo Bulega enters this weekend having extended his championship lead by three points at Portimao. It currently sits at 29 points over Toprak Razgatlioglu, who won Race 2 in Assen last year and all three races in Portugal two weeks ago.
