Xavier Simeon On Pole!

Series leader Xavier Simeon once again stamped his authority on proceedings by taking pole position for the final round of the 2006 Suzuki GSX-R European Cup at Magny-Cours. And Simeon managed to do this despite missing over twelve minutes of the qualifying session due to the fact that he was still on the podium after winning the Superstock 600 race just beforehand! Second fastest today is Phillip Hafeneger, with wild card Kenny Foray third and Simeon’s nearest rival Rene Mahr fourth.

Xavier Simeon - 1st 1:46.860

When the Suzuki Cup qualifying started, I was still on the podium after having won the 600 Superstock race! By the time all the ceremonies had finished I had missed about twelve minutes of the qualifying. I took things steadily for a while as I had to get used to a completely different bike, but after a while I began to find a good rhythm and went faster. I took pole without too much of a problem and if there had been another ten minutes I feel sure I could’ve taken another second off my time. I’m looking forward to the race tomorrow and really want to take the title. If that happens, it will be my second title this season and that’s something I could only dreamed. I will not do anything silly, but if I can win the race that would be the icing on the cake.

Circuit: 4.411 kms.
Weather: Damp/dry 16-20C
