SBK Losail, day2: Shinichi Nakatomi 16th

In Superbike

23 febbraio 2007

For the first race of the year, Yamaha is in pole position in Superbike with Troy Corser and in Supersport with Kevin Curtain. Shinichi Nakatomi, who qualified for Superpole, is in 16^th position.

There is a good progress for Shinichi Nakatomi who is 1.4 seconds quicker than he was last year. This is a very good result because Nakatomi did not have the opportunity to do much testing over the last winter. The new Yamaha R1 is efficient, and both team mates Troy Corser and Noriyuki Haga will start from the front row tomorrow. Nakatomi’s Yamaha is using the racing kit parts that the team is helping to develop, and the Kayaba suspensions that show a very good efficiency.

Martial Garcia (team-manager): “We had no major trouble. Our rider needs some mileage because he could not do much practice last winter. So this race is for us some kind of real test session. To participate to the Superpole is satisfying.”
