From the official Aprilia press release issued after qualifying at Monza, regarding Troy Corser’s Superpole attempt:
“On a wide line into the first chicane, with his bike completely jumped up the edge of the track, Troy Corser had to push hard to make him up his best. But a small imprecision at ‘Roggia,’ made everything difficult and the Australian couldn’t fight for the first row. Bayliss set the Pole and alongside him on the grid will be Hodgson, Yanagawa and Bostrom. Good performance for Alessandro Antonello, that was looking for a good starting position, reaching the seventh place alongside Corser. Big improvement for Regis Laconi, tenth place during the free practice
of this morning, confirmed by this Superpole: third grid for the Frenchman.
“‘I had no grip, probably due the high ground temperature’ said Troy Corser. ‘Then I was going too wide on the second chicane, and it was difficult banking the bike. I hadn’t a good lap to reach the first row. This is a very fast track, and using the slipstream could be possible to make positions up. It depends on a good start. Will be two challenging races until the end.’
“‘I start to brake too early in many points of the track during the Superpole’s flying lap,’ said Regis Laconi. ‘But I’m satisfied about
the improvement compare yesterday, I think now I’m in a good racing package considering with the beginning of this weekend. Now, considering the grid position I think it will be a difficult race, but I’m satisfied about the work done on the bike. I will do my best tomorrow.'”
