This weekend sees the return of the Corona Extra Superbike World Championship after the traditional summer break and the Yamaha Motor Italia squad are fired up and raring to go.
With
Noriyuki Haga in second place and 66 points behind the current championship leader, the team has worked hard during the weeks since the last round at
Brands Hatch to ensure that the fight for the title will go right to the wire this weekend at the German circuit in Lausitz.
Troy Corser's best result at Lausitz to date is third, which he has achieved twice, but following a few weeks rest he is determined to improve on this result. "It's been good to have a rest from racing for a few weeks as it's given me time to get some training in. I now feel a lot more refreshed and am focused and raring to go for the last three rounds," Corser said.
"Lausitz is quite a different track to many of those on the calendar and I like it for that reason. It's a bit like an American track with the infield section and grandstands around the outside. From a riding point of view it's quite challenging for set-up and you also have quite an unusual turn at the end of the straight where you join the infield section," Corser explained, "This weekend I'm going all-out to win; I've gone well at Lausitz in the past and Nori's previous results there show that the Yamaha also goes well so it should be a good weekend."
Haga has an impressive previous form at the German circuit with a pair of second places last year and a second and a third in 2005, as well as the fastest lap of both races that year, which gave him his 25th fastest lap of his WSB career.
