The same can be said for Noriyuki Haga (Pata Racing Team Aprilia), who was fifth, the Japanese rider finishing the session ahead of Leon Haslam (BMW Motorrad Motorsport). Marco Melandri (Yamaha World Superbike Team) failed to improve and he was seventh in front of Michel Fabrizio (Suzuki Alstare), while Carlos Checa could only manage ninth on his Althea Racing Ducati.

World SuperBikes 2008 Round 06: U.S.A.
World Superbike Round 06 - Miller Motorsports Park U.S.A.
Carlos Checa won both of the races by a clear margin. He said, “It’s been fantastic to take a double win here in the USA. Just at the start of the first race I had some problems with my number one bike and had to use the second one. I felt I had a good start, but then saw the other riders in front of me I knew I had to work hard. When I saw Neukirchner in front I knew I could overtake him and take the lead. In the beginning it was difficult to make a gap, but then I made enough ground. It then was more difficult to control my mind than control the tyre. At the end of the race Corser was catching up and I had to concentrate and improve my pace. The last time I won a race was ten years ago and these are my first wins outside Spain. I would like to dedicate them to my friend Wayne Rainey.”

World Superbike returns to the USA
Click photo for original
SBK Official Story: The 2008 HANNspree FIM Superbike World Championship enters into a new era this weekend as the series returns to the United States of America for the first time in four years. The new venue for round 6 of the series, the StriVectin-SD USA Round presented by HANNspree, is the Miller Motorsports Park, situated 35 minutes drive from downtown Salt Lake City in Tooele, Utah.
Despite only coming away from the last round at Monza with a third place and a DNF, Troy Bayliss was able to increase his championship lead by 8 points to 78, a haul of points equivalent to over three race wins. With the other challengers still unable to offer a consistent challenge, the 39-year-old Ducati Xerox rider, who has won five races already this season on his 1200cc Ducati 1098 F08 machine, is heading towards a third title in what will be his final year of Superbike racing.
If you are attending please send me your article and the best will get published. It doesn't need to be a work of literary genius - just write it your way. It will be interesting to read how everything works out on the updated track especially as the event is being held in conjunction with the American Superbikes racing. Send your story to: MotoBlogCycle. If you're going to the Bike Bash on Thursday let us know about that too.

Schumacher Races Bikes Under False Name
Click picture for original story in Bild.
Michael Schumacher is reported to be racing in the Internationalen Deutschen Motorradmeisterschaft (IDM) der Superbikes under a false name according to the German publication 'BILD'. The race is due to be held at Motorsport Arena Oschersleben on the weekend of 16th to 18th May 2008.
So are all the predictions coming true that Schumi can't resist the lure of motorcycle racing or is he just enjoying putting himself to the test?
It's also interesting to see that Nina Prinz, an official Yamaha rider and women's world champion is also taking part in the race.
IDM SUPERBIKE: Team YAMAHA Motor Deutschland verpflichtet Nina Prinz
Neben Jörg Teuchert und dem Polen Andrzej Pawelec wird auch "Rennlady" Nina Prinz in der IDM SUPERBIKE starten. Außerdem will Nina ihren Titel im European Womans Cup verteidigen. Teuchert und Pawelec haben inzwischen bereits erste Testfahrten in Cartagena absolviert und schauen optimistisch in die Saison.

Haga Takes 2nd Monza Superbike Race
Noriyuki Haga took the 2nd race at Monza in a close finish with Max Neukirchner in 2nd and Ryuichi Kiyonari in 3rd who almost took the race.
Bayliss went out with a blown engine, Checa got hit by Corser and later crashed out.
There was a moment during the race when it looked like Haga's bike had blown with piles of smoke coming off the back of the bike but it turned out that the rear hugger had bent on to the tyre.
A great race full of exciting moments.
Max Neukirchner Gets Deserved Superbike Win
Watching the first race in Monza there was something that made me nervous with a lot of the riders making bad judgements at the end of the straights and especially into the chicane. Yukio Kagayama, Neukirchner's team mate in the Alstare Suzuki Team, must have overshot the chicanes 2 or 3 times and Neukirchner did the same on the first lap. Is it just me or do those crash barriers along the back straight look overly close and menacing? 8 riders failed to finish.
Carlos Checa started in 4th but as he was pulling away he caught the back of Fonsi Nieto's bike with his handlebars and was sent out of control across the full width of the straight narrowly avoiding other riders. This put him back to 14th but he finished 8th just behind Nieto.
Let's see what this afternoon holds in store and whether my internet connection is good enough to see the second race. Interesting to hear Randy Mamola doing the commentary on SBK TV.

Double Dutch delight for Bayliss at Assen
Troy Bayliss (Ducati Xerox) powered to his second double of the year with two convincing wins at the Assen TT Circuit in the Netherlands in the fourth round of the HANNspree FIM Superbike World Championship front of 75,000 spectators.Read more ...
Bayliss Wins 20th Superbikes Superpole at Assen
Troy Bayliss powered to his second Superpole of the year at Assen and his 20th in career with a time of 1'38.428, just a fraction slower than the new best lap he had previously set in the final minutes of free practice.
Second place on the grid went to Valencia winner Noriyuki Haga (Yamaha Motor Italia WSB), just a tenth away from Bayliss's pace, with Sterilgarda Go Eleven Ducati's Ruben Xaus right behind in third. The Spanish rider had been a lowly seventeenth in Friday qualifying, but was able to make major gains today and should also be a contender for victory in tomorrow's two 22-lap races.
"It's the first time here for us on the new 1098" said Bayliss. "We had a pretty good base setting, we've been working towards a better set-up and we've achieved that. I was really surprised with the 38.3 time I did in free practice, so I thought maybe it was possible to do a flat 38 or high 37. It wasn't to be but it was just enough to give me the pole and this is a great position to start tomorrow. Regarding my bicycle injury, there are always some niggling problems that you have being a motorcycle racer, it's not very often that you are fully fit but I'm feeling OK and there are no problems at all."
