Corser: What's happened to my bike?

While Yamaha Italia team-mate Noriyuki Haga charged to 2-1 race finishes in the team's home Monza event last Sunday, frustrated double world champion Troy Corser was left wondering what had happened to his R1.

Get your act together Corsa. You have one of the best bikes with how many years experience1 If you can't sort it now then give up and let some youngster have your ride!

Corser is a good rider and I'm surprised that he isn't doing better than he is currently. In the past couple of years he seems to have lost it a bit. At times he starts off well then falls back which probably means tire or suspension issues. If he doesn't turn it around he will probably lose his seat next year especially if Haga continues to do well.

I have a feeling this might be Corser's last season in WSBK or if not he won't be in the same team next year!

Corser is a great development rider and has been doing a lot of the for the team as Pitt did previously, unfortunately he doesn't get the results any more, but with BMW and Aprilia joining the party there will be some seats for experienced riders next year. There are a lot of good riders who will need seats including Pitt and Rea, probably a few AMA superbike riders following the changes in rules in that championship next year

Nothing's happened to the bike but it's just that Haga's better than you Mr Corser! Shame you couldn't join in the amazing 2nd race at Monza!

I'm convinced that it 's not TROY who has problem, but he is not treated in his team as he has to be : priority to HAGA.
The team ahs taken profit about his experience to settle the bike, and now they just concentrate on HAGA.
It's not fair at all !
Also if HAGA is a great rider, he will ever be a WORLD CHAMPION as TROY ( twice )!
A suggestion to the team : treat your riders equally and you will get more satisfaction.
