Toseland Scores Superpole Win Number Three
28 April 2007
An ebullient Superpole ride from James Toseland (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda) gave him an early psychological and measurable advantage for Sunday’s 22-lap Superbike races, thanks to a new Superbike best lap of 1’38.603. It was Toseland’s first Superpole of the year and only the third of his entire SBK career. Superpole changed the fortunes of many riders after the morning’s final regulation qualifying session, notably fifth placed pre-Superpole qualifier Lorenzo Lanzi (Ducati Xerox) who went second in the final analysis, some 0.623 seconds from Toseland. A joint factory Ducati push saw fastest pre-Superpole fastest qualifier Troy Bayliss (Ducati Xerox) go third. The last place on the front row was earned by a resurgent Max Biaggi (Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra), who recovered from a lowly 12th finish after regulation qualifying to go fourth in Superpole.

The final two positions on the front row went to the surprise of the day, Josh Brookes (Honda) and Troy Corser (Yamaha), but few riders completed their full quota of laps, preferring not to risk everything on the wet Valencia track surface.

Team Alstare's Troy Takes Superpole!
08 October 2006
Team Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra rider Troy Corser put in a virtually perfect lap to take Superpole at Magny-Cours today. Troy’s lap of 1:39.147 was over one and a half seconds inside the lap record and two tenths of a second ahead of his nearest rival - James Toseland (Honda). Troy’s team mate Yukio Kagayama suffered from wheelspin in the final part of his Superpole lap and ended eighth quickest and will start from the second row of the grid. But like Troy, he feels that he has got a good set-up for the race and is confident of challenging for the podium. Third quickest today was Lorenzo Lanzi (Ducati), with Karl Muggeridge (Honda) completing the front row of the grid.

Superpole - Magny Cours– 12th Round – 6th, 7th And 8th October
08 October 2006
A stunning Superpole lap from Troy Corser (Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra), who had qualified fifth fastest in regulation, gave him his fourth Superpole win of the year, dropping the best SBK lap at Magny-Cours to an impressive 1'39.147. Corser has now scored 38 career Superpole victories, extending his all-time record still further. Of more significance in the shape of the 2006 championship table, perhaps, was the fact that James Toseland (Winston Ten Kate Honda) was second quickest and earned a front row start, while the man who sits only two points behind him in the championship, Noriyuki Haga (Yamaha Motor Italia), was fifth fastest and begins Sunday's races from the second row. The track surface at Magny-Cours had a chance to dry out before Superpole, after frequently changeable and often damp conditions had adversely affected final qualifying for all the riders this morning.
