Yamaha Takes the Title Fight to the Last Round
03 October 2007
The 2007 World Superbike Championship comes to a thrilling finale this weekend at the French circuit of Magny-Cours. The final round of the championship will be played out in true dramatic form with the top three riders all in with a chance of lifting the trophy on Sunday. Only one weekend ago, the race in Vallelunga, Italy saw the championship possibilities left wide open as Haga took a third and fourth while championship leader Toseland could only manage third and 11th. Biaggi also got in on the act when he took first and second to move into second championship place. With only 33 points separating these three riders there is everything still to fight for.

Corti Shines For Yamaha With First Place
30 September 2007
Claudio Corti took his first win of the season today for the Yamaha Team Italia squad in a spectacular race that gave his home fans some of the closest racing since the start of the season as well as giving Yamaha the 2007 Superstock 1000 Manufacturer Title. Having qualified in second Corti got a good start to maintain his position behind his team mate Pirro, who got the hole shot from eighth through to first. Corti managed to pass Pirro by lap four and the two Yamaha riders were then joined by Aitchison and Canepa in the battle for the lead. Corti fought fiercely with Aitchison while Pirro struggled with his arm, which he hurt in a national championship race in Misano. He gradually went backwards through the pack to finish his tenth Superstock race in eighth.

Corti Takes 4th Podium Of The Season
07 August 2007
Today saw a positive end to a good weekend for Claudio Corti with him finishing third having taken his second pole of the season yesterday. Matteo Baiocco put in a strong performance to finish in fourth while Pirro took ninth. Corti had shown his capability with his pole position and proceeded to get the holeshot at the start of the race to take the lead into the first corner. With Baiocco second and Van Keymeulen fourth it was shaping up to be a Yamaha battle. Unfortunately, Van Keymeulen ran wide and onto the grass on lap two and re-joined in 28th position but was forced to retire one lap later. Canepa put a strong pass on Corti at Druids on lap four, pushing Corti to second and Baiocco to third. Corti and Baiocco continued to fight for podium positions for the remainder of the race until a successful challenge from Simeon on lap 12 saw Corti move into third with Baiocco finishing just behind in fourth.

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.
