Initially I had the feeling there was something not correct, but looking at the video and analysing the situation it was fair."He is a good racer, he is a hard racer and that's what we need in Formula One.". Leon Haslam and Jeremy McWilliams suffered contrasting fortunes yesterday in the first qualifying practice for tomorrow's French Grand Prix here. Leon Haslam and Jeremy McWilliams suffered contrasting fortunes yesterday in the first qualifying practice for tomorrow's French Grand Prix here. McWilliams, on an Aprilia, showed his best form of the season so far by taking second on the provisional grid for the 250cc class. The Belfast rider followed home the Italian Marco Melandri (Aprilia) but was quicker than Japan's Daijiro Katoh (Honda). The Honda rider completed the front row of the provisional grid alongside a third Aprilia rider, Japan's Tetsuya Harada.Haslam, however, crashed and broke his left wrist in the 500cc practice.

Haslam, at 17 the youngest rider in the category, walked away from a crash in the first qualifying session and received treatment at the trackside clinic where scans revealed a fracture.The Shell Honda rider will not race tomorrow. Haslam joins his team-mate, Chris Walker, on the injured list but Walker, who has been racing since the start of the season with a cracked shoulder blade, posted the 16th quickest time in the 500cc practice. Walker was one place ahead of another Briton, Jason Vincent, who is trying to put the early-season mechanical problems of the Pulse bike behind him.Everyone, however, was left in the wake of the Yamaha of the Australian Gary McCoy. He set the provisional pole lap ahead of Japan's Norick Abe (Yamaha). Valentino Rossi (Honda), the 500cc championship leader, was third-quickest and the Italian will be joined on the front row by the Suzuki of the defending champion Kenny Roberts, from America.Japan's Youichi Ui (Derbi) was quickest in the 125 class..
Salford's victory over Wigan last Sunday cost Frank Endacott his job, but all the crises when they faced another top-five side at Knowsley Road last night were in their own defence. Salford's victory over Wigan last Sunday cost Frank Endacott his job, but all the crises when they faced another top-five side at Knowsley Road last night were in their own defence. Despite not playing at all badly with the ball in their hands, the Reds were ripped apart by Saints with two of their brightest young stars, Paul Wellens and Tony Stewart, each scoring hat-tricks of tries.For 10 minutes, Salford matched Saints for enterprising handling without either side being able to find a gap.The first mistake proved instrumental in opening the floodgates, Jason Nicol losing the ball in Paul Newlove's tackle and, from the scrum, Wellens sending Tony Stewart away for the game's first try.That was merely the preamble to an astonishing burst even by Saints' standards of four tries and 24 points in 10 minutes.Anthony Sullivan picked up Sean Long's pass off his bootlaces to put Wellens away for the first of the sequence and Wellens scored again from Long's pass two minutes later.A shell-shocked Salford defence took an obvious dummy from Paul Sculthorpe to concede another and Newlove's inside pass then put Chris Joynt over.After that, it almost counted as a lull in proceedings for Saints not to score until three minutes before half-time, Stewart going through from halfway for his second try, with Long clipping over his sixth goal from six attempts.To their credit, Salford made Saints work rather harder in the second half, although, after Kevin Iro had scored the home side's first try after the interval, they eased off visibly.Malcolm Alker claimed Salford's first try from an interception and Darren Brown crafted a try with two run-around moves that would have been highly memorable in a different context.Stewart completed his hat-trick with Long and Iro in the build-up, before Iro's pass sent in Steve Hall.A kick ahead by Ian Marsh enabled Alker to dive in for his second, but Salford were slapped down firmly with a third for Wellens and a spectacular effort from Sullivan in the last minute, with Long bringing his goal tally to 11.St Helens: Stewart; Hoppe, Iro, Newlove, Sullivan; Wellens, Long; Edmondson, Cunningham, Fairleigh, Shiels, Joynt, Sculthorpe. Substitutes used: Hall, Jonkers, Cruckshank, Higham.Salford City Reds: Broadbent; Pinkney, Maloney, Littler, Offiah; Brown, Hammond; Southern, Alker, Driscoll, Nicol, Highton, Wainwright. Substitutes used: Arnold, Stevens, Coley, Marsh.Referee: R Connolly (Wigan).* Bradford retained their lead at the top of Super League with an emphatic 64-12 against Halifax at Valley Parade last night. The visitors were blown away in the first half when the Bulls scored seven tries and lead 40-0. Elsewhere Leeds and Hudderfield combined for 17 tries and 98 points at Headingley as the Rhinos ran out 52-46 winners to condemn the Giants to their 11th consecutive defeat, a Super League record for the start of a season.. The Australian Test winger Wendell Sailor, who will switch to playing rugby union at the end of this year, was fined around £150 yesterday for spitting in a woman's face outside a nightclub.
