WSBK : Disappointing races for Ten Kate Honda

The second round of the SBK world championship at Losail in Qatar was a disappointing one for the Hannspree Ten Kate Honda team, whose results failed to live up to expectations.

Not one of the three riders managed to step onto the podium and this was telling evidence of the current form of the Dutch team.

The best results came from Ryuichi Kiyonari, with an eighth and a fourth place. In particular in race 2, after changing his rear tyre from the first race, the Japanese rider had a good run to fourth, just a fraction away from the podium. Carlos Checa had a good race 1, the Spaniard finishing in fifth, but after the break problems with chatter did not allow him to move up any higher than 13th. As for Jonathan Rea, a 12th and an eighth place were all that he could manage after two difficult races.

Ryuichi Kiyonari: "In race one I had a very bad start and had to push hard at the beginning. After that it was difficult to keep the lap times. We changed the tyre for race two and things felt much better, but, again, I had to push very hard and was maybe a bit too aggressive with the throttle at the beginning, trying to catch the leading group. When I reached Biaggi, I didn't have enough left to get past him. I hoped he might make a mistake to let me on to the podium, which would have been the best reward for my team who have worked so hard. But it didn't happen, so I had to accept fourth place".

Carlos Checa: "I had quite bad chatter again in race one. We thought we had eliminated this problem after Phillip Island, but it was back and gave me quite bad arm pump. Unfortunately, it was even worse in race two and I also had a bad start which meant I had to try to pass many other riders. With the problems we had, I didn't really have the confidence to push as hard as I wanted. We'll work on everything before we get to Valencia and hope for better things there".

Jonathan Rea: "Today has been one of mixed emotions - in fact, it's been quite a weird weekend. We were right up there on Friday and Saturday morning, but went the wrong way and Superpole was not good. So, we went back to Friday's settings for the races today and I got a pretty good start in the first one, but got bad arm pump. The guys in the Clinica Mobile sorted it out for race two and everything felt much better; but from 17th on the grid, I couldn't quite catch the leading group so I had quite a lonely race. I had one or two moments with the front, but I'm happy with the way I rode and I'm looking forward to Valencia now."

Bradley Smith remains top Brit in Estoril test

By Matthew Birt

Bradley Smith has remained top British rider after the second day of testing at the Estoril circuit in Portugal.

The Aspar Aprilia rider clocked a best time of 1.46.328 to lap 0.3s faster than he managed on the opening day.

But that time saw him slip down to fourth on the timesheets as Spanish team-mate Julian Simon once again dominated.

He set a best time of 1.45.046, which nobody could get within a second of as Pol Espargaro got closest with a best lap of 1.46.218.

British GP winner and 2008 rookie sensation Scott Redding knocked a massive 1.6s off his best time from the opening day with a fastest lap of 1.47.272.

That moved him up the rankings into ninth place and two places ahead of fellow Brit Danny Webb, who ended 11th after a crash at the fourth corner which he escaped injury in.

WSB Qatar: Haga and Spies Open Points Gap

By Mike Nicks

Noriyuki Haga and Ben Spies look like making the battle for the 2009 World Superbike Championship a two-man shootout after both edged away from rivals in today’s two races in Qatar.

Haga holds onto the lead with 85 points after having to accept two second places on his Ducati Xerox. But Spies has closed the gap to just ten points after his two victories on the Yamaha R1.

The 33-year-old Haga visibly looked dejected as he climbed from his bike at the end of a hot day’s work in the desert, and said later: “Ben is ten years younger than me, and that’s why I lose.”

It was difficult to know whether the Japanese rider was joking or being serious, but it must be irksome to Haga to know that he abandoned the Yamaha ride just before their devastating new R1 engine arrived, and when the factory appears to have solved its previous tyre wear problems.

“In the first race we lacked a bit of acceleration, but I put my head down in race two and tried to close up and keep the same rhythm going,”

Spies said. “I just put my head down for ten fast laps and was able to open up a gap.”

Max Neukirchner holds third place in the championship table on his Alstare Suzuki with 40 points, but Max Biaggi is now close behind him with 38 points on the Aprilia, and Britons Leon Haslam and Tom Sykes hold fifth and sixth places.

Haslam: Ben Spies is a class act

Leon Haslam expects this year's World Superbike Championship fight to come down to a head-to-head between Ben Spies and Noriyuki Haga, the Stiggy rider branding the American rookie a 'class act'.

Spies has taken the World Superbike Championship by storm in the first two rounds of the series, winning three races to be ten points behind Haga heading to the first of the European rounds in Valencia.

Although the pair are the antithesis of each other in terms of experience, Haslam nonetheless anticipates the title fight to come down to a tight exchange between the Yamaha and Ducati riders.

Comparing the top level of AMA Superbikes to that of the British Superbike Championship having himself scored a podium on his debut with his privateer Honda team in Australia, Haslam thinks Spies' achievements have made his own participation in the world series all the more enjoyable.

“Ben is a class act, there is no doubt about that,” he told Crash.net. “I have always thought that the top of AMA and the top of BSB is tough. Shakey proved in Portugal that he has the pace, plus with me on the podium in Australia, it shows how strong the competition is.

“Yamaha have a fantastic package this year and have a lot of experience, as have Ducati and Suzuki, but for Ben to then come in at circuits he doesn't know on a new bike, he is doing a fantastic job.

“He is on fire and it is going to be an exciting season between him and Haga, but everyone is so close too – this makes it all the more exciting for me to be out battling with those guys!

With European rounds now approaching, Haslam says he is settling back into the 'professional' surroundings of the World Superbike paddock, even if he looking forward to taking his creature comforts with him to Spain.

“The World Superbike paddock has always been fantastic,” he added. “It is such a high class of riders and everything is really professional. But I am looking forward to Europe where I can get to use my own motorhome and have my own base”

Haslam is currently fifth in the World Superbike standings after managing a pair of 11th place finishes in Qatar.

Nakano jumps forward during 'excellent weekend'

Former 250, 500 and MotoGP star Shinya Nakano claimed a fourth place finish in only his second WSBK event, in Qatar race one on Saturday.

While team-mate Max Biaggi grabbed the Aprilia headlines with a double podium at Losail, rookie Nakano showed excellent potential by finishing one place behind the Roman in the first outing.

''I am satisfied,” said Nakano after race one. “It is only my second WSBK event and already I've got a good result. I got away well at the start and remained in the lead group for the first half of the race, then they broke away so I just concentrated on defending my fourth position. Checa finally overtook me during the last few turns, but he made a mistake and I was able to get the place back.”

The second race saw Nakano once again get a good start, only to lose ground after contact. A fight-back brought the Japanese up to sixth, but the position was snatched from him by Alstare Suzuki's Max Neukirchner right at the line.

Nevertheless, Nakano finished an improved 9.5sec behind race winner Ben Spies - compared with 12sec in race one - and was also two seconds closer to team-mate Biaggi.

''I got a good start again but after a few corners I made contact with another rider and lost ground,” explained Shinya, who had qualified in sixth. “I had to push very hard to recover. I managed to get up to sixth place, but I had lost touch with the leaders.

“Towards the end Neukirchner caught up with me and we had a duel right to the line, which he won by just a few centimeters. But it's been an excellent weekend, we have improved a lot since Phillip Island and Biaggi showed the potential of the RSV4.

“Now we go to Valencia, where I made my debut on the bike, although the bike has changed so much since then that I don't think I'll have much of an advantage.”

Nakano had finished 15th and 12th on his WSBK debut at Phillip Island.
