WSBK Rd 3 Monza. Difficult Friday qualifying.
09-05-2008
We finished today after the first qualifying session, with Dan in 17th and Gino in 25th position. Gino was involved in a high speed crash that fortunately left Gino not seriously hurt however, the bike will be out of action for the weekend and the spare bike was not in a tune to give Gino a front running position. Dan was running a different engine tune than at Assen, that has not worked today as well as hoped. However, rebuilds of both bikes this evening by the team will see them in form for second qualifying and then the race tomorrow (Saturday). Please find photos from the sessions today in the gallery including team shots.

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.
