Round: 2 - Australia WSS Circuit: Phillip Island Date: 3 March 2006 Temp: 36ºC Weather: Sunny Yamaha Motor Germany riders Broc Parkes and Kevin Curtain go into tomorrow's final qualifying session on the provisional front row after ending today's opening session second and third respectively. The Australian pair have been consistently at the top of the timesheets during the day's two 45-minute practice sessions, bested only by qualifying king Sebastien Charpentier (Honda) in the afternoon's qualifying practice. Having tested at the circuit in January, the Yamaha Motor Germany squad came to Phillip Island with a good base setting for their new-for-2006 R6s. Having found a set-up that they believe can help them challenge for honours on Sunday, the team will try to further improve their race set-up and maintain the crucial front row starts during tomorrow's grid-deciding qualifying session. In a good day for Yamaha runners, Italian privateer Mauro Sanchini finished sixth, with Spaniard Xavi Fores ninth. Local hero Anthony Gobert, a winner here in the superbike class, came 12th in his second ride for the Yamaha GMT94 team, while FIM Superstock 1000 champion Didier van Keymeulen ended the day 13th on his R6. Massimo Roccoli and Gianluca Vizziello of the Yamaha Team Italia squad ended 21st and 23rd respectively as they looked to find a good set-up for their machines.
