Portimao: S1000RR still off the Pace in Superbike

Guest24 · 03-26-2010, 07:08 AM

Corser and Xaus still trying to get the hp to the contact patch. Finished 13th and 16th in free practice. Pitt and Tamada finished the day in 17th and 20th. Tamada only 1.3 sec behind Xaus his first time out on the bike! He is hungry for a full-time job maybe. Comments?

S1000RR is still off the pace in 1st qualifying round in Superbike. Corser only moves up to 12th and Tamada is breathing dowm Xaus' neck. Hard to think that .727 seconds off the pace puts you in 12th behind the leader.

Th Duc's appear to be on order. Corser is moving ahead and Xaus, feeling the heat from Tamada improved as well--As he should. Pitt and Tamada were a little off the pace. I hope they were playing with tyres a set-up. Superpole results are really the game teller in my opinion. Corser needs to make the second row to have a shot at the podium.

If you are watching the live timing, it appears that the S1000RR still doesn't have it together during the final free practice before superpole. The track is dry and the beemers are falling back. Still not getting the hp to the contact patch.

Corser moved up to 8th in lap times.
