Corser was the first man out of the box for the team and managed a good lap to go second in the rankings behind
James Toseland, although he was later knocked back into third by Max Neukirchner who was 0.1 seconds in front. Haga was the penultimate man out for his flying lap but he was unable to do any better than fourth because the cooler temperatures affected his chosen tyre.
"Today went okay although I struggled to find the right set-up on race tyres,” explained Corser, “Losing the session to the weather on Friday didn't give us enough time to try all the set-up options that we wanted to. We decided to try setting one of my bikes up with Nori's settings because he was consistent in his timings. We made some fork and gearing changes and it felt better than it had been, but we just ran out of time.”
Corser who is known as Mr Superpole was a bit disappointed with his result as he went on to say, “I'm disappointed that I didn't put on a new front tyre for the Superpole lap. I had wanted to hold one back for the warm up session tomorrow morning but the tyre I used this afternoon had lost its edge and I even thought I was going to go down in one corner. “
A front row start should be enough to the give the tough Australian the start he needs, “I'm happy enough with a front row start although it would've been nice to keep hold of the lap record. I know I can run as good lap times as anyone else here, though. I just want to go out now, get a good start and go for the win. There's going to be a few elbows and fairings clashing that's for sure!" he finished.
