Haga Grabs First Superpole of the Year at Magny-Cours
05 October 2008
Noriyuki Haga’s exceptional end-of-season run of form continues at Magny-Cours this weekend as the Yamaha Motor Italia WSB rider powered to the Superpole for tomorrow’s French Round races with a new best lap of 1 minute 38.444 seconds. For the Japanese rider, who notched up a double win here last year and another double two weeks ago at Vallelunga, it was his first pole of the season and his sixth overall. The one-lap dash was a hard-fought affair, with the top 4 ending up in the space of three-tenths of a second and four different bikes on the front row from Yamaha, Suzuki, Ducati and Honda. Lining up alongside Haga will be Fonsi Nieto (Suzuki Alstare), the Spaniard producing his best performance of the year, followed by championship leader Troy Bayliss (Ducati Xerox) and Carlos Checa (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda).

Yamaha Intent On Closing Gap At Vallelunga
26 September 2007
This Sunday sees the penultimate round take place at Vallelunga, near Rome in Italy and, with only two rounds to go and 41 points separating Haga from first place, this race is key to Yamaha's fight for the championship. The previous round at Lausitz could well prove to be a corner stone in Haga's title fight as he took a win and second place, cutting the gap between him and first place by 25 points. The impact of this result will only really be understood after this weekend's race.

Yamaha Dominate Superstock Podium At Brno
24 July 2007
Matteo Baiocco and Claudio Corti took second and third respectively today in the seventh round of the FIM Superstock 1000 Cup at Brno. The result is especially pleasing for Corti, who is still recovering from breaking his right foot earlier this month in an Italian national championship race. Yamaha Team Italia rider Michele Pirro got the holeshot off the line and went from fourth to take the lead at the first corner. He was later caught and passed on lap four by Badovini and Simeon. Corti also made a good start, going from 12th on the grid to fifth with Baiocco behind in sixth. The top six riders then broke away from the rest of the field as everyone fought for position in the early stages of the race.
