DUCATI MOTOLOGIC RACING SET THE PACE FOR ROUND 3 ASBK 04 May 2010 – #27 Jamie Stauffer recorded the fastest lap of the day in the official Friday practice today at Queensland Raceway as the Ducati Motologic Race Team set the pace for Round 3 of the Australian Superbike Championship. Successful testing at the circuit weeks prior to the event has provided the team with much needed set-up information going into the third round and the factory Ducati team enter the weekend confident of strong results. Stauffer recorded his fastest lap time on lap 17 of the second practice session at a 1:10.376 sec and team owner and manager, Paul Free feels there is still some work to do. Free: “The practice sessions both yesterday and today have really provided good direction for the team now particularly after a test here at Qld Raceway a couple of weeks ago. We are really encouraged by the lap times recorded, but I know we can still get more from the bike this weekend.” #33 Jordan Burgess has definitely recovered from his knee injury at Hidden Valley in April and is steadily improving from test to event. Burgess’ fastest lap was also recorded in the second practice session on lap 17 at a 1:13.10 sec. It was a mild early-winter sun that warmed the track to a temperature of 33.8 degrees today and the Ducati 1198R was unmistakable as Stauffer and Burgess prepared for the weekend’s racing. With the right changes made and the team and riders more determined than ever to take the Ducati to the front of the field, will it be the Red Blur that takes the round at Queensland Raceway this weekend?
