WSB Rd 1 Valencia Superstock 600 Friday
04-04-2008
Day 1 of the WSB Valencia round resulted in Dan Linfoot qualifying 7th and Gino Rea 10th in the first of the two qualifying sessions before the race tomorrow. Tomorrow has the second qualifying session followed by the race and the results today give us a good base on which to build. In this morning's free practice we used the opportunity to fix a throttle issue on Dan's bike and to finalise the electronics settings for Gino before the qualifying this afternoon. For the qualifying we decided to use the same tyres as free practice. With only three sets of tyres allowed for the weekend this will give us new tyres for final qualifying tomorrow and also for the race. The qualifying itself was without major incident and both riders were able to settle in and post good times that we will aim to better in the morning. Pictures from today are posted in the gallery and full results are at the WSB website at http://www.worldsbk.com/pubb_EN/result.php

The great race at the new Portimao circuit brings an end to our season in World Superbike Superstock 600, with riders Gino Rea and Dan Linfoot.
The season has been a success with Gino third and Dan fifth in the championship standings following three victories and five additional podiums in total. The results have also acted as a stepping stone to the riders for next season, with both securing high profile, career progressing rides for 2009.
Thank you for all of the emails, calls, texts and visits throughout the year. It has been much appreciated.
