Mixed fortunes at Silverstone for BMW Motorrad!
Having seen BMW Motorrad Italia’s Ayrton Badovini win his seventh consecutive race on the S 1000 RR and claim the 2010 FIM Superstock 1000 Cup earlier today, there were high hopes for the BMW Motorrad Motorsport factory riders at Silverstone this afternoon. However, a top ten finish in the first World Superbike race was the highlight of a difficult weekend for Troy Corser, as an early crash in race two put a premature end to his hopes of success at the UK circuit. Team-mate Ruben Xaus finished race one just outside the points but fought back to finish 11th in race two.
Having both qualified on the second row of the grid, the two riders were hoping for a good showing on their BMW S 1000 RR machines, but it was not to be. There was early drama for Ruben before the first race had even begun, when he stalled his machine on the grid just prior to the start of the warm-up lap. However, he made it to the start and looked comfortable in the early stages before slipping backwards due to issues with grip.
Troy Corser was running as high as fourth place in race one and was involved in a good battle with championship leader Max Biaggi, before an incident on lap eight caused him to lose several places. He eventually finished the race in tenth place, so was determined to go even better in race two.
Initially, this certainly looked like being the case, as Corser made a good start to the second race and overtook Jakub Smrz and Leon Haslam on the very first lap, before pressuring Max Biaggi and passing him onto the start-finish straight going onto lap two. However, in doing so the veteran Australian overloaded the front tyre over the bumpy surface and crashed out of contention.
This left Ruben Xaus as the sole BMW rider in the race and despite not making the best of starts, he fought his way back from 17th place up to 11th, just 26 seconds behind double race winner Cal Crutchlow.
Troy Corser: “We are disappointed with the weekend to be honest. We came here with high expectations but we really struggled with grip. We tried a lot of things to improve grip levels but nothing seemed to work. The only time I felt happy with the bike was in race two but sadly I crashed early on. Race one I just couldn’t get the power down, I felt the front pushing into most corners and I nearly crashed on numerous occasions. I think we have a good idea of what caused the problems this weekend, so we just need to go away, work hard and get focused for the races in Germany.
Ruben Xaus “To be honest the first race was a disaster. We had good grip on corner entry but after that I just had no feeling – the bike was just spinning everywhere. We have tried our best all weekend to come up with a setting which works at this circuit but in the races it simply didn’t happen for us. I tried as hard as I could but I still finished 17th. I could have pulled in because the grip levels were so bad, but I am a fighter and I wanted to stay out there and try my best. For race two we made some big changes to the set-up and it was better. Unfortunately I lost a lot of positions in the early laps but I was happy with my overall race pace. We have learnt a lot from race two so I think this will help us in future races.
Berthold Hauser – BMW Motorrad Motorsport – Motorsport Director: “This is a weekend to forget for us. We expected a lot coming here as we thought the track would suit our bike, but we had some grip issues all weekend. In the second race the team made some changes to Troy’s bike and it was a real improvement. Unfortunately it only lasted for one lap as Troy lost the front on the bumps at turn one. But I am not disappointed by the crash because it showed me that Troy was pushing as hard as he could, which is the main thing. We just need to go away from here, work on a few things and be ready to come out fighting at the Nurburgring.”
