Team Alstare Engineering Corona Extra news
2006 Superbike World Championship - Round 10, Eurospeedway
Lausitz
Friday qualifying, 8th September.
THE LEARNING PROCESS CONTINUES.
Max Neukirchner carried on his steep learning curve on the
first day of qualifying at the Eurospeedway Lausitz this afternoon.
Although he only finished 24th quickest, he was happy because
he had improved his time by over two seconds from the morning
untimed session.
Max and the team know a lot of work has to be done in a very
short time and race conditions are not particularly conducive
to rapid results. Nevertheless, after last week’s tremendous
result in Assen, Max is confident that further improvement
will be made tomorrow and is looking forward to carrying on
learning to set up and ride the Alstare Engineering GSX-R1000
K6 bike.
MAX -24th, 1:41.334
There’s always lots to learn when you jump onto a new
bike and we’re having to do all our learning during
a race weekend, so there’s lots to do and not so much
time to do it. Certainly the set-up of the bike felt better
in the afternoon and now we’ll make some changes tomorrow
and I’m sure we’ll improve some more.
