Corser On Provisional World Superbike Pole Position At Vallelunga -ozzy go- yamaha-racing.com

Yamaha Looking Good in First and Third on Day One
The first day of qualifying at Vallelunga went well for the Yamaha
Motor Italia WSB Team today, with Corser claiming provisional
pole and Haga just behind in third.

The day started off wet and quite cool following overnight rain,
with temperatures only hitting 19˚C compared to the scorching
50˚C experienced during testing here in July. The difference in
weather conditions meant that the data gathered in the test
proved less helpful than hoped during this morning’s free
practice. But both Corser and Haga didn’t let this faze them and
got on with the job of finding the best set-up for the conditions.
By the end of the session Corser was fastest with Haga in fourth.

This afternoon’s qualifying session was a dry affair, giving the
team the chance to find a dry set-up. Both riders spent the
session in the top four until Corser pulled it out of the bag in the
last ten minutes to take the provisional pole position. Haga put in
a strong performance to finish third, in front of his key focus for
the weekend – Toseland. click on ozzy go to the full story
