To confirm the progression During the last event at Assen, Shinichi Nakatomi had his best result so far this year. This is a positive situation, and there should be confirmation on the Monza race track that the performances now are better and better. The beginning of the season was made uneasy by the lack of winter testing, but Shinichi Nakatomi and Martial Garcia’s Team YZF Yamaha know now how to make a better use of the new R1 that was introduced on the market this year; For this Monza race, the Yamaha of the Japanese rider with receive some new parts for the chassis (including the swinging arm) and for the engine. “We hope to keep on progressing at Monza after the situation has been better during the last event at Assen, says team manager Martial Garcia. We shall be looking for better results. On the track, the top speed is very important and we are confident because we had the second top speed at Assen.” The fastest track of the Championship Monza is the quickest of the tracks used for the 2007 Superbike World Championship. The fastest lap was done last year by Troy Corser on a Suzuki, with the average speed of 196.636 kph. This is not the quickest lap ever, as Pierfrancesco Chili on a 750 Suzuki averaged 203.960 kph at Hockenheim on June 4th, 2000. A track with a great history Monza was built in 1922 (in only 100 days!) by the Milan Automobile Club. The “Autodromo Nazionale di Monza” is only 15 km from Milan. It is the oldest permanent racing circuit still used in Europe and the third such circuit to have been built after Brooklands (GB / 1907) and Indianapolis (USA 1909). The track is 5.793 km long and features a 2.405 km long oval, which is no longer used. The main straight is 1.195 km long. The first Grand Prix of the Nations (September 8, 1922) was won by Amadeo Ruggeri on a 1000 cc Harley-Davidson. In the 500 class, the winner was Italian Gnesa on 2-stroke 350 Garelli. A very special circuit Monza is the fastest circuit on the World Superbike calendar. The track has two very slow chicanes, the “Prima variante” and the “Variante della Roggia”. It also has a long right-hander called the “Curva Parabolica”. Monza only has one real left-hander, the “Curva del Serraglio” after the Lesmo double right-hander. Monza is different because the bike is upright for so much of the lap, during acceleration, top speed and braking phases. Monza is unique in that the bikes are running more often in a straight line than in a corner, the opposite of the other World Superbike circuits.

TOOELE VALLEY, UTAH “” The top teams from the AMA Superbike Championship presented by Parts Unlimited concluded a two-day test at Miller Motorsports Park today, in preparation for the upcoming Honda Summit of Speed scheduled for June 22-24. Topping the unofficial timing charts as the teams packed up to leave was six-time Superbike champion Mat Mladin, who clocked in at 1:49.578 on the 3.06-mile Outer Course riding his No. 66 Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R 1000. That compares favorably to the 1:49.167 with which Mladin’s teammate, defending series champ Ben Spies, took the pole in last year’s race. Mladin said he was pleased with the outcome of the two-day test. “It was very productive, actually,” Mladin said. “Quicker than we’ve ever been around here, and in fairly warm conditions.” Spies was second-fastest on the day at 1:50.136, and similarly satisfied with the results of two days’ work. “It was good,” he said. “We just worked on race set-up, and got down to what we did last year comfortably. We found something right at the end that was kind of affecting us and gained about a half-second a lap, so that was good.” Honda factory rider Jake Zemke, who won his only Superbike feature race of 2006 at Miller Motorsports Park, was third-fastest on his No. 98 Honda CBR 1000RR at 1:50.702, followed by brothers Eric and Ben Bostrom, who were at Miller Motorsports Park last weekend for the Racing 2 Save Lives charity event, respectively. Eric, aboard the factory No. 32 Yamaha YZF-R1, had the fourth-fastest lap of 1:51.047, while older brother Ben, riding for the factory-supported Graves Yamaha team, was just a tick slower at 1:51.196 on his No. 155 YZF-R1. Completing the top 10 fastest laps of the day were Zemke’s teammate, veteran Miguel Duhamel (1:51.327), Erion Honda’s Josh Hayes (1:51.542), Kawasaki’s Roger Lee Hayden (1:51.601), Corona Extra Honda’s James Ellison (1:51.660), and Suzuki’s Tommy Hayden (1:51.785). The teams will now prepare for their next event, at California’s Infineon Raceway over the weekend of May 18-20. They will have one additional event, at Wisconsin’s Road America June 1-3, before returning to Miller Motorsports Park for the Honda Summit of Speed. Miller Motorsports Park will host Round 2 of the Miller Park Racing Association and Round 4 of the Icebreaker Kart Championship this weekend, May 11-13, and is preparing for its biggest event of the year, the Larry H. Miller Dealerships Utah Grand Prix Presented by The Grand and Little America Hotels, featuring the American Le Mans Series, scheduled for May 17-19.

Kawasaki AMA Superbike Showdown QUOTE BOX SONOMA, Calif. (May 9, 2007) “” Infineon Raceway will host the Kawasaki AMA Superbike Showdown, presented by Supercuts, May 18-20 on the twisting 12-turn, 2.22-mile road course. Below are a series of quotes from top AMA riders. WHAT MAKES INFINEON RACEWAY UNIQUE FROM OTHER TRACKS ON THE AMA SUPERBIKE SERIES SCHEDULE? Mat Mladin (Suzuki): “Infineon is probably one of the most challenging tracks we go to. It has a bunch of corners connected by very few straights. It’s a rider’s track, that’s for sure. It has a lot of blind corners over little hills. It’s certainly one of the most challenging tracks each year.” Roger Hayden (Kawasaki): “This track is a lot more physical and a lot tighter with more elevation changes than most other tracks. You have to be pretty aggressive to pass here and it’s not easy, so that can be pretty exciting.” Eric Bostrom (Yamaha): “This track is really fun. It’s a motocross course for road bikes, basically. It really levels the playing field out there and it’s a blast to ride.” Jamie Hacking (Kawasaki): “I’ve always really liked this track configuration and the lines here. I’ve really come to like this track even more over the years and it’s become one of my favorites. I like a track with a lot of rolling hills, so this suits me.” Steve Rapp (Attack Kawasaki): “I think the most unique thing about Infineon is that it has so much variety. If you can ride Infineon, you can probably ride well at any track. Being that it’s where I started racing, I feel like it gave me a lot of experience with different styles of terrain and turns.” In reference to the new Yamaha YZF-R1 Superbike at Infineon Raceway… Jason DiSalvo (Yamaha): The new Yamaha Superbike is such an amazing motorcycle and so technologically advanced versus anything I’ve ridden before. I think it’s going to be a good race for us. I’m happy we’re already scratching the surface in terms of the bike and where it will be competitive-wise versus the other bikes out there. I think it will be very good when we race in May. SUZUKI HAS BEEN DOMINANT IN THE SERIES AND AT INFINEON RACEWAY. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR SOMEONE TO BEAT THEM? Roger Hayden (Kawasaki): “It’s going to take a good bike and a good rider because those guys have good bikes and good riders. It’ll take a lot. You’re just going to have to be on your game that weekend.” Jamie Hacking (Kawasaki): “Suzuki are the top guys in Superbike and they’re always a second or so ahead of us. We’re slowly closing the gap. I’m just trying to really get this new Superbike dialed in and the guys are doing a great job at making the bike better. It’s a pretty big challenge to work on this Superbike that is only one year old. We just need to get closer.” Kawasaki AMA Superbike Showdown WHAT: Kawasaki AMA Superbike Showdown, presented by Supercuts WHEN: May 18-20 CIRCUIT: 12-turn, 2.22-mile road course 2006 SUPERBIKE POLE WINNER: Ben Spies (Suzuki) 2006 SUPERBIKE WINNER: Ben Spies (Suzuki) NOTABLE: The race weekend will feature a doubleheader of AMA Superbike racing, as well as Supermoto and SBFreaks Freestyle.
