Disaster For Xavi!
05 August 2008
The seventh round of this year’s Superstock 1000 FIM Cup will be one to forget for Xavi and Team Alstare Suzuki. Xavi had hoped to maintain his title challenge and put pressure on Maxime Berger (Honda) and Brendan Roberts (Ducati) but was sidelined even before the first lap of the race! On his inspection lap, Xavi’s bike suffered a fuel problem and the bike spluttered to a halt on the track. Xavi asked the cornerworkers to get the bike back to the pits, so that the problem could be rectified but the cornerworkers would not arrange for the bike to be transported back and so Xavi was unable to line up on the grid for the race. Berger won the race, with Morais (Kawasaki) second, Antonelli third (Honda) and Roberts fourth and Xavi is now third in the title standings, fourteen points behind Berger and Roberts.

Tremendous Win for Xavi
12 May 2008
Team Alstare Suzuki rider Xavier Simeon won the third round of the 2008 Superstock 1000 FIM Cup at Monza today after leading the race from start to finish. Xavi started from the third row of the grid, but made a superb start and was third going into the first corner. It was just as well that he was so far up the field, for behind him a rider had crashed braking for the turn and then skittled ten riders and their bikes! Despite there being bikes and riders all over the first chicane, by the time Xavi and the rest of the depleted field came round again the track was clear. Xavi then controlled the race from the front and ran out the winner by over two seconds, with Matej Smrz (Honda) second and Alessandro Polita (Ducati) third. Xavi’s win also moves him into first place in the championship, with a fifteen point lead over Polita.

Xavi Fifth on Day One
10 May 2008
Team Alstare Suzuki rider Xavi Simeon ended the first day of qualifying at Monza with the fifth quickest lap time. All four of the riders in front of him today raced here at Monza last weekend in the Italian Championship, so had a wealth of knowledge on which to draw, so it’s no surprise that they were ahead of the young Belgian. Claudio Corti (Yamaha) set the day’s fastest lap, with a time of 1:49.468. Second is Michele Pirro (Yamaha), with Michele Magnoni (Yamaha) third and Chris Seaton (Suzuki) third.

Xavier Takes Second In The Sun At Brands
07 August 2007
In scorchingly hot conditions, Team Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra rider Xavier Simeon continued his run of good form with a superb second place at Brands Hatch today. And if it were not for a poor start and a problem getting past Claudio Corti (Yamaha), there is little doubt that Xavi would have challenged Niccolo Canepa (Ducati) for the victory. Getting past Corti cost Xavi the best part of two seconds, yet he was just six tenths of a second behind Canepa when the Italian took the chequered flag. Third place went to Corti, with Matteo Baiocco (Yamaha) fourth, Brendan Roberts (Ducati) fifth and Ayrton Badovini (MV) sixth.
