Excuses so far

Report - First Qualifying - Kawasaki

Different results for Kawasaki PSG-1 Corse team in the first day of test on Assen circuit in Holland. Fonsi Nieto revenged the difficulties he had in Valencia reaching the 7th place with just 6 tenth of gap from the temporary pole of Toseland. The Spanish rider found immediately a good feeling with the bike and the tires adopting a set up that allowed him to have a good pace for many laps and to improve it at the end of the session. Some troubles for Regis Laconi that still has some problems with the chattering even if improved compared to Valencia. But he declared to be still trustful because the morning’s free practice session went quite good for him.

FONSI NIETO: “ I can’t say that we solved all the problems we had in Valencia but compared to that situation we improved a lot. We still have a lot of work to do but I’m quite satisfied because I did 27 laps without changing the rear tire and keeping a good pace. The 7th chrono is not bad and I could do better but I did a mistake in a corner that made me loose some time. The important thing is to have been able to find the right direction. Tomorrow we’ll try to improve more and then to make an important result in the Superpole”.

REGIS LACONI: “ This morning I reached good position but this afternoon we took a wrong direction in the set up and the result has been negative. The problem is the chattering that we still haven’t solved even if we tried different solutions. The important thing now is to find the key and work out these problems to be able to loose the gap we have now. Anyway I’m optimist because the set up we had this morning was quite satisfying.”

if i remember correctly, last year the Fonz was on the podium here in the second (dry) race. Brooksey SHOULD have been on it in the first (wet) race

Also, Atcho 15th after first SS1000 qualifying, but only .4 from a top 10.

GO Atcho

GO BAYLISS!!!

Charpentier straight back on the pace on return from injury. Foret with yet another front row start. Hopefully he can get at least a solid launch so he's not fighting back from 15th position. The Aussies are strong with Parkes 3rd, Pitt 7th and Martin a fine 6th position. Here's hoping for an exciting race.

Toseland landed a scorching superpole lap, 6 tenths quicker than anyone else. The big loser in all this is Haga-san who dropped to 15th which will make life very difficult for him. Kwaks are in their familar tenthish positions.
