Ben Bostrom, Honda, -46.096 seconds More, from a press release issued by Ten Kate Honda: 2005 World Superbike championship, round five Silverstone, GB Race two Sunday, 29 May 2005 WINSTON RIDERS REPEAT SILVERSTONE PERFORMANCES Winston Ten Kate Honda’s Chris Vermeulen finished fourth in the second race of the World Superbike championship fifth round at Silverstone, GB today, matching his performance in race one. The race was won by British rider James Toseland, with Vermeulen’s fellow Australian and team-mate, Karl Muggeridge, finishing in tenth place. Starting from fifth place on the grid, Vermeulen spent the early part of the 28-lapper around Silverstone’s International circuit avoiding trouble and trying to pass slower riders. He threatened to close on the three front runners but was unable to bridge the gap and took his second 13-point haul of the weekend, moving to within three points of second place in the championship. Ronald ten Kate team manager: “I have to admit that our results today have not met the expectations we had following Monza and after our qualifying performance yesterday. It looks like the handling of the bike in first few laps of the race is causing us some problems but hopefully we can look at that when we go testing at Magny Cours in France next week. We have a lot of new parts to test there and this will be our first real opportunity to try things outside a race weekend. We’re looking to improve the bike in a few areas and hopefully put the two riders into winning positions. We need to change some things quickly to get back to our winning ways but there are still 14 races left and a lot of points up for grabs.” Chris Vermeulen – fourth “I was behind James Toseland in the early part of the race but it just seemed to take me longer to get past the other riders than it did for him. I got hit by someone on the infield section on the first lap and then Laconi crashed right in front of me on the second lap. Both those incidents cost me a bit of time and let the others get away. I was pushing really hard though, right to the end of the race, but every time I put in a quick lap, it didn’t seem to close the gap at all. I scored one more point here than I did at Monza, where I won, so at least that’s a positive. We’re going testing next week and I’m sure that’ll put us back in the right direction.” Karl Muggeridge – tenth “We made some changes after race one and the bike was definitely feeling better. But around ten laps before the end, the grip at the rear just seemed to drop off especially at the hairpin and again coming out of the chicane. It made changing direction pretty difficult but the bike was holding a better line through the faster sections. For sure, the results are disappointing after the progress we made at Monza but there’s a long way to go, a lot still to learn and I’m looking forward to testing some new parts in Magny Cours.” World Superbike, Silverstone race two results (28 laps, 99.7kms): 1 James Toseland GBR (Ducati) 40m55.190s, 2 Troy Corser AUS (Suzuki) +0.473s, 3 Noriyuki Haga JPN (Yamaha) +3.187, 4 Chris Vermeulen AUS (Winston Ten Kate Honda) +6.691, 5 Pierfrancesco Chili ITA (Honda) +16.923, 6 Chris Walker GBR (Kawasaki) +17.057, 7 Yukio Kagayama JPN (Suzuki) +28.248, 8 Norick Abe JPN (Yamaha) +31.760, 9 Andrew Pitt AUS (Yamaha) +32.084, 10 Karl Muggeridge (Winston Ten Kate Honda) +36.492.

Next round: Misano, Italy 26 June More, from a press release issued by Team Suzuki Press Office: CORSER EXTENDS WSB SERIES LEAD May 29, 2005. Team Suzuki’s World Superbike Championship leader Troy Corser raced to two close second places at today’s British fifth round at Silverstone and increased his series lead over team-mate Yukio Kagayama to 78 points. In the opening race, the Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra rider finished neck-and-neck with Regis Laconi (Ducati) and in the second, it went down to the wire with World Champion and local hero, James Toseland (Ducati). The first of the two 28-lappers featured a tremendous three-way dice between Corser, Noriyuki Haga (Yamaha) and Regis Laconi (Ducati) until the 25th lap when Haga’s R1 suffered an engine problem. That left Corser chasing Laconi for the last three laps but, try as he could, he could not get past the Frenchman and so he settled for second place. Third place went to current world champion James Toseland (Ducati) – much to the delight of the home fans. Race two was equally thrilling and started with a five-rider battle involving fast-starting Haga, Corser, Kagayama, Laconi and Toseland. But Laconi’s dreams of taking a double vanished when he crashed out on lap two, leaving four to carry on the fight. Corser took the lead on lap four but after Kagayama started dropping back, it was Haga and Toseland who took up the challenge. Corser led at the half way point, but three laps later, Toseland stormed to the front and, despite a fierce fight back from Corser, he held on to take the chequered flag for his first ever World Superbike win on his home soil. Corser was a comfortable second, with Haga third and although Kagayama had problems, he kept going and finished seventh. Troy Corser – Race 1: 2nd, Race 2: 2nd: “Both races were hard ones today but I knew they were going to be that way before we started because I didn’t believe anybody would be able to make a big breakaway. “I got a good start in race one and led for half the distance but, although I opened up a bit of a gap on Haga and Laconi, I just couldn’t shake them. When Laconi came past, I thought I would keep close and see if I could pass at the end. But, my bike was spinning up a bit and I couldn’t get good drive exiting the final chicane. So although I could catch Laconi, I couldn’t get past him. “In race two, it was a bit of the same except this time it was Haga and Toseland who I was fighting with. Toseland was on a mission and I tried my best but in the end I decided that second would be good for championship points. Possibly I could’ve pushed harder but probably I would’ve crashed. At the end, I didn’t even know that Laconi hadn’t finished. Although I didn’t win today, I extended my Championship lead and that’s what it’s all about.” Yukio Kagayama – Race 1: 11th, Race 2: 7th: “I am disappointed today because I thought I could get maybe two podiums, but a crash in the first race ruined my plans. I got back on the bike as soon as I could, but I had dropped from sixth to 16th position in the process. I fought as hard as I could and managed to get 11th position. “In between the two races we changed the set-up of the bike because I didn’t have a good feeling in the first race. But the set-up we had for the second race did not give me a good feeling either and it was not possible for me to push as hard as I wanted. I tried my best, but I didn’t want to crash again so I made sure I brought the bike home. I am particularly disappointed because I have many British fans here and I wanted to do well in front of them.” Superbike Results: Race 1: 1 Laconi (I-Ducati), 2 Corser (Aus-Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra), 3 Toseland (GB-Ducati), 4 Vermeulen (Aus-Honda), 5 Chili (I-Honda), 6 Walker (GB-Kawasaki), 7 Neukirchner (D-Honda), 8 Bussei (I-Kawasaki), 9 Cardoso (E-Yamaha), 10 Muggeridge (Aus-Honda). 11 Kagayama (J-Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra).

SUPERSTOCK 1000: Team Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra rider Riccardo Chiarello was forced to retire from today’s third-round European Superstock 1000 Championship at Silverstone with a mystery clutch problem. He had been looking comfortable in fourth place at the time and was about to mount a charge for the podium on the 12th lap when the problem worsened. The 15-lap race featured a tremendous scrap between Roccoli (Yamaha), Sofuoglu (Yamaha) and Coxhell (Suzuki), with the result in doubt until the final lap. Roccoli led going into the final chicane, but Sofuoglu tried an ambitious move into the left-hander. For a moment he was ahead but he got in way too hot and he missed his line. Roccoli nipped through to take the lead and the win with Coxhell second and Sofuoglu third. Riccardo Chiarello – DNF (12 laps): “On the warm-up lap, I felt a small problem with the clutch but it was too late to do anything about it and I had no choice but to start the race like that. I made a good start and was second after the first lap, but that was probably the highlight of the race for me because after that the clutch started giving me more problems. I kept going as best I could, but had to pull in and retire. I hope that I have better luck in the next race at Misano.” Superstock 1000 Results: 1 Roccoli (I-Yamaha), 2 Coxhell (Aus-Suzuki), 3 Sofuoglu (Tur-Yamaha), 4 Van Keymeulen (NL-Yamaha), 5 De Angelis (I-Yamaha), 6 Rocamora (I-Suzuki), 7 Martinez (E-Yamaha), 8 Scassa (I-Yamaha), 9 Iannuzzo (I-MV Augusta), 10 Polita (I-Suzuki).

SUPERSTOCK 600: Team Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra rider Xavier Simeon crashed out of Saturday’s Superstock 600 European Championship race as he contested a podium position. The teenager made a good start and was sixth at the end of the first lap. He then moved up to fifth two laps later, but his dreams of taking a podium vanished when he crashed on lap eight, fortunately without any serious injury. Italian Corti (Yamaha) led the race from start-to-finish and ran out the winner four seconds ahead of his nearest rival, Frenchman Tiberio (Honda) with fellow countryman Berger (Honda) third. Xavier Simeon – DNF (8 laps): “I am disappointed because, when I was in fifth, I thought I had a good chance of getting a good result. It’s a great shame because this is a hard championship and you need to take as many points as you can in every race. I intend making up for it in the next round at Misano.” Superstock 600 Results: 1 Corti (I-Yamaha), 2 Tiberio (F-Honda), 3 Berger (f-Honda), 4 Canepa (I-Kawasaki), 5 Napoleone (F-Kawasaki), 6 Antonelli (I-Kawasaki).

More, from a press release issued by Ducati Corse: DUCATI XEROX DOUBLE-TEAM AT SILVERSTONE AS LACONI AND TOSELAND SHARE THE WINS Silverstone (UK), Sunday 29 May: Règis Laconi and James Toseland took a win apiece for the Ducati Xerox Team in the fifth round of the World Superbike championship in front of a 70,000 strong crowd at the Silverstone circuit. Frenchman Laconi scored his ninth career triumph and Ducati’s first win of the year when he took the chequered flag in race 1, but it was Toseland who really set the home fans alight with a controlled but aggressive display of riding in race 2 to seal the reigning champion’s first win of the year. “Its always nice to win especially with the tough start to this season, but as I said after the first race, I never give up” declared James. “The team has worked fantastically well, thanks to Davide Tardozzi and Paolo Ciabatti for all the work they’ve done with me. We made a slight change from first race to second race and it was worth half a second a lap faster, the difference between finishing third and first, but it was a long race and seeing L18 after about 45 minutes is really tough! “I did it the hard way again, letting them get away at the start and having to chip away but once I’d got on the tail, it was difficult with Nori and Troy and it took me quite a few laps to get by. I’ve never won before at Silverstone and that was one of my goals in life. It feels as good as I thought it would!”. Laconi won the first race from Corser but retired from the second on lap 2 when he lost the rear of his Ducati 999 and crashed out. “I have wanted to win since the beginning of the season” said Régis. “I almost did it in Monza, but I was a bit disappointed about losing out on the final lap. Now I am very happy to win this one because it is the first victory this year. It’s good because it means that Ducati are doing a great job together to get back to the front and with James on the podium it was a good result for all of us. In the last few laps I knew Troy was behind me so I tried my best not to make any mistake in all the corners. I think that if I am very clean in all the corners it becomes hard for Troy to pass. During the race I had to pass three guys to take the lead, so I rode hard and aggressive, but I am a very happy man today because we did a good job and won one more time for Ducati”. “In race 2 I was right behind Haga and Corser when I went into the last chicane and lost control of the rear of the bike and there was nothing more that I could do. It was a real pity but I will try and make up for it in front of the Italian fans at Misano”. RACE 1: 1. Laconi (Ducati Xerox) ; 2. Corser (Suzuki) ; 3. Toseland (Ducati Xerox) ; 4.

More, from a press release issued by Honda Racing: HONDA RACING INFORMATION World Supersport and Superbike Championships 2005 Round 5, Silverstone Great Britain, 27 29 MAY 2005 CHARPENTIER TAKES THIRD WIN FOR HONDA Sebastien Charpentier (Winston Ten Kate Honda CBR600RR) roared to his third race win of the 2005 season after another of the front running displays he has specialised in since the start of the year. His team-mate, Katsuaki Fujiwara (Winston Ten Kate Honda CBR600RR) was not his closest challenger this time around, fighting off the pain of injury in practice and gearchange issues to finish ninth, but retain his second place in the championship table nevertheless. Honda CBR600RR riders have now taken five wins from five starts, thanks to two victories for Fujiwara to add to Charpentier’s triple crowns. Charpentier also scored the fastest lap of the race on the new circuit, and thus the new lap record, with a 1’29.027. Charpentier was joined on the podium by his French compatriot Fabien Foret (Team Italia Megabike Honda CBR600RR) who finished third, some 20.4 seconds from the lead. Kevin Curtain (Yamaha) was second, pushing Charpentier until near the end. More Honda happiness came with a season best fourth place for former World Champion Stephane Chambon (Gil Motorsport Honda CBR600RR). Tatu Lauslehto (Klaffi Honda CBR600RR) proved to be a late race problem for Fujiwara to overcome, as the Finnish rookie rider pushed him all the way, leading out of the last chicane but allowing Fujiwara to pass when he almost highsided trying to get the power on early. He finished tenth. Talented Italian rider, Michel Fabrizio, experienced clutch problems on his Team Italia Megabike Honda CBR600RR, and had to withdraw on lap 23. In the championship table the latest thrust of Charpentier extends his championship lead to 25 points, with his total of 115 comparing favourably with Fujiwara’s 90. Foret is fourth on 54 points, with Lauslehto ninth, on 30. Fabrizio’s no-score drops him to seventh place, with an unchanged total of 42. Charpentier was once more at his absolute zenith all weekend, dominating qualifying for long periods before a close fight with Curtain replicated somewhat on raceday saw him take his fifth straight pole. He was effusive in his post race comments. “What can I say except that everything was fantastic for me. It was the best weekend possible, with pole position, fastest lap and also another win. Kevin rode very well but I always felt comfortable and in control. Although it was a long, hard race, I am in good physical condition and the bike was also great. I am so happy with the atmosphere in the pit garage the whole team makes me laugh and I never feel any pressure from my team manager Ronald Ten Kate. On top of that the CBR is just perfect, so I really think this is the best situation I have ever raced in.” Foret, third despite a scare when he was excluded then re-instated in the post-race results for an underweight machine, knew a podium was a valuable finish for him and his team. “I’m happy today. I have taken the second podium of the season and I liked it so much when I arrived in front of my group. I tried to stay with Sebastien and Kevin but today they were fastest and so I made sure of the podium by defending against Fabrizio and Chambon with a good last few laps. We must work so hard from here to the Misano round, because we can arrive at the level of Winston Ten Kate. We are not so far but I hope that during the Italian round the situation will be better.” Fujiwara had a tough day at the short 3.561km International circuit at Silverstone; it’s busy nature and changes of direction not helping his cause when he experienced gearshifting problems. “I am very disappointed with that result, of course. I hurt my shoulder in the crash yesterday but after a good massage this morning it didn’t feel too bad until after the race. My start wasn’t so good from sixth on the grid, but I had a gear shifting problem and found it difficult to select the right gear which made it very hard.” Lauslehto’s latest top ten finish was another positive step on the ladder for the European Champion, despite a last corner hitch. “I had been having some difficulty exiting that corner all the race, and on the last lap I had to try hard to keep Fujiwara behind me. But I finished with some good points again, after yet another hard race.” Fabrizio’s disappointment was clear to see, as he trudged away from yet another possible podium finish in his full rookie WSS season. “This is an unlucky period for me. After the mistake of Monza the clutch broke four laps from the end. I tried to make adjustments during the race but on the finish line I could not continue. I hope to make a better result in Misano, without problems. I like Misano very much and know it very well.” World Superbike Round 5 of 12 ROUND FIVE PRESENTS ANOTHER NEW CHALLENGE TO HONDA QUINTET Chris Vermeulen (Winston Ten Kate Honda CBR1000RR) was the top finishing Honda rider on two occasions at Silverstone’s International circuit, taking fourth places after two tough and eventful races for all the Honda protagonists. Pierfrancesco Chili (Klaffi Honda CBR1000RR) was the next best Fireblade rider, securing a fine brace of fighting fifths. In the first race Regis Laconi took his first race win of the year on his Ducati, with Suzuki rider Troy Corser second and Laconi’s team-mate James Toseland third. In the second 28-lap outing the finishing order was Toseland from Corser, with Noriyuki Haga (Yamaha) third. Karl Muggeridge (Winston Ten Kate Honda CBR1000RR) slugged out two tenth places, on a day of symmetrical results for the highest placed Honda riders. Chili’s team-mate Max Neukirchner (Klaffi Honda CBR1000RR) had a day of contrasts, overcoming the pain of his recently broken wrist to secure seventh in race one, but knocked off his machine temporarily to finish 18th in the second leg. Ben Bostrom (Renegade Honda Koji CBR1000RR) had a new style seat sub frame break in race one, forcing him out, but ground out some points for 14th in race two. Vermeulen, the 2003 World Supersport Champion, could not get into a position to get away with the leaders in either race, and sits third in the championship. “I was behind James Toseland in the early parts of the race but it just seemed to take me longer to get past the other riders than it did for him. I got hit by someone in the infield section in the first lap of race two and then Laconi crashed right in front of me on the second lap, Both those incidents cost me time and let the others get away. I was pushing very hard though, right to the end of the race, but every time I put in a quick lap I didn’t seem to close the gap at all.” Chili was pleased with the progress of his bike, knowing that he could not seriously challenge for podiums in either race. “I think we were OK, we improved our positions and maybe the guys in front had different rear tyres. When I tested this tyre maybe I did not have the right suspension. It was not 100% but I was starting to have much more feeling for the bike and in the second race I pushed as much as I could to get the best result possible. I had cramp in my leg in the middle of the race, so I had to relax and breath. My battle was a personal one.” Muggeridge could not regain his Monza pace, but kept his concentration for two points scoring finishes. “We made some changes after race one and the bike definitely felt better. But around ten laps from the end the grip just seemed to drop off especially at the hairpin and again at the exit of the chicane. It made changing direction pretty difficult but the bike was holding a better line through the faster sections.” Neukirchner, who rode all weekend with his right wrist in a lightweight plastic cast, qualified tenth in Superpole, fifth after the regular session, and had to take painkillers to allow him to race to the level he did on Sunday. “For the races I only had a tablet from the doctor for the pain and yesterday I had a painkilling injection. Laconi crashed in front of me in race one, and also Cardoso. I went into Cardoso’s machine; my engine was still running so my bike was pushing his bike forward before I crashed. Then my engine died, so I had to bump start it. My position in race one was good, the second well, that’s racing!” Bostrom was disappointed at his luck, explaining his plight. “We did change the settings to take weight off the front in race two but it was worse. In the last laps I was waiting for the race to finish because the front just seemed to be tucking under all the time.” The sixth rounds of the WSS and SBK championships take place at Misano Adriatico, on 26th June.
