Davies Prepares for the Championship Title Fight at Imola this Weekend A confident Yamaha ParkinGO team is in preparation for the third last round of the season this weekend in Imola, where Chaz Davies could already claim the 2011 World Supersport Championship title. Davies is leading the championship on 171 points, with an impressive 59 points separating him from Salom in second place and 60 points from Foret in third place, the Welshman just needs to secure third place at the chequered flag to maintain the 50 point advantage he requires to be sure to bag the Championship title. Following his outstanding performance throughout the season, five victories and two podiums in nine races, Davies has clearly demonstrated his determination and capability of powering his Yamaha R6 to grasp the title, three rounds before the season finale. The Yamaha ParkinGO team is eager to secure the championship on home soil as Imola marks the third “home race” for the Italian based team. After making progress in the last round in Nurburgring, Luca Scassa heads to his local circuit confident that he can make a podium come back in front of his numerous local fans. The Romagnolo is familiar with the track and is eager to make up for missing out on valuable championship points in the last Italian round in Misano. With just 16 points separating him from Salom in second place in the standings and three rounds remaining, Scassa is setting out for Imola with guns blazing, eyes firmly set on his objective. Chaz Davies Yamaha ParkinGO Team “I’m really looking forward to this weekend, it could be a big one. I’ve raced really hard all season to get ahead and get a good lead in the championship so I wouldn’t feel under pressure at this stage. The bulk of the work is done already and hopefully I can leave Imola with the title. I like the track even though I wasn’t so lucky there last year, with just two corners to go on the last lap and winning seen as Laverty and Sofuoglu had just come off when suddenly I had a technical problem with the bike and lost out on my podium finish. Let’s hope it goes much better this time around. But that’s racing, anything can happen!”
