Yamaha Take Final World Endurance Victory and Claim the Manufacturer's Title

The Yamaha Austria Racing Team took yet another race win last weekend at the 8h of Doha, Qatar for the final round of the 2009 FIM World Endurance Championship.

The impressive ride to victory by YART riders Igor Jerman, Steve Martin and Gwen Giabbani, who led the entire race from the first lap, gave Yamaha enough points to claim the 2009 FIM World Endurance Manufacturer title. The Team had already sealed the championship title at the previous round in September but kept the pressure on for the final race to take a clean sweep for Yamaha to add to their already impressive list of world championship title wins this year.

"We had some problems at the Bol d'Or round and Suzuki passed us in the manufacturer's championship standings," said YART Team Manager Mandy Kainz. "So we came here to Qatar to win. The race was perfect, there were no mistakes and it was a good weekend for us, as it was usually over the year! We also wanted to finish on the podium on Sunday, it was the best way to finish the year."

Yamaha Sterilgarda World Superbike Riders Wrap a Successful Test in Valencia

The all British line up of Cal Crutchlow and James Toseland wrapped up a successful final day of testing in Valencia this afternoon. Both Crutchlow and Toseland had spent the two day test at the Ricardo Tormo circuit working through electronic and chassis settings on their R1 superbikes ahead of the 2010 season next year.

Day two saw big improvements from both riders as the times came down, covering some 60 laps each, despite neither of them getting the opportunity to take advantage of the faster tyres towards the end of the day. They will now head home for Christmas before joining up with their new team again in Portugal in January for the first test of 2010 at the Portimao circuit in the Algarve.

Cal Crutchlow, Yamaha Sterilgarda World Superbike Team (1'34.0)
"Today was even better than the first day, we worked through a lot more settings in the sessions. I'm disappointed with my final time though as I think I could have been fastest at the end of the day but I didn't get a chance to use the fastest tyre. I'm happy enough with my overall pace and consistency. We've still more to do so I'm looking forward to getting back on the bike in January and keeping up the development."

James Toseland, Yamaha Sterilgarda World Superbike Team (1'34.3)
"A really encouraging test for me, again I'm happy being on a track I know so I can concentrate on the bike set up. I feel we've come on quite a bit with the bike over the last two days. I didn't utilize the quick tyre to its full potential as I got held up which is a shame as I was quite confident of getting into the 33s. I ended up on 34.3, which was a good pace. I'm getting used to the way of riding the bike and getting confident with the team as well. I think if we had a race tomorrow we'd be in with a shout!"

Massimo Meregalli, Yamaha Sterilgarda World Superbike Team Manager
"For the second test for both riders and last test of the season I'm very satisfied. We've made some good improvements to the feel of the electronics and suspension, with some very useful feedback from the riders. We'll take a break now and come back to it in January in Portimao and I think we will achieve even more."
