Round: 2 - Australia WSS
Circuit: Phillip Island
Date: 4 March 2006
Temp: 36ºC
Weather: Sunny
Yamaha riders Kevin Curtain and Broc Parkes will start tomorrow's second round of the Supersport World Championship from the front row of the grid after a strong showing at Phillip Island today.
The Australians, who ride for the Yamaha Motor Germany squad, changed the set-up of their YZF-R6s to improved their times from Friday's session and maintain the important front row starts. Curtain posted a best of 1:36.436 to end the day second, just ahead of Parkes, who was just over a tenth of a second slower than his team-mate.
After experimenting with the settings during yesterday's session, the squad reverted to the data gained during January's Phillip Island test for today's final qualifying. Both riders declared themselves happier with the machine today and confident that they can run with pole position man Sebastien Charpentier (Honda) during tomorrow's 21-lap race.
A third R6-riding Australian featured heavily in qualifying, with Anthony Gobert posting the seventh fastest time on the Yamaha GMT94 machine. A five-time world superbike winner at the venue, Gobert was in impressive form in his second stand-in ride for the injured David Checa.
FIM Superstock 1000 Cup champion Didier van Keymeulen ended the day 19th on his R6, ahead of Yamaha Team Italia riders Massimo Roccoli and Gianluca Vizziello. They continued to experience set-up problems and ended up 21st and 24th on tomorrow's grid. |
