Steve Hislop and Neil Hodgson showed the rest of the world how it’s done in Superpole Saturday afternoon at Donington Park in the British round of the World Superbike Championship. Hislop, who is entered as a non-regular or “wild card” rider, dominated qualifying on Friday and Saturday, then capped that performance with a brilliant Superpole lap to take pole position for tomorrow’s two World Superbike races. Fellow Brit Neil Hodgson pushed Hislop hard all the way, both in qualifying and in the Superpole. Hodgson set a fast Superpole lap (1:32.899), leaving Hislop, who was the last rider out for Superpole, with everything to do. Hislop rose to the challenge and turned a 1:32.680 lap to put his Monster Mob Ducati onto first place on the grid.

Ben Bostrom was third-fastest in Superpole, making it three Ducatis on the front row. Reigning World Champion Colin Edwards on the Castrol Honda qualified fourth-fastest in Superpole. Edwards’ weekend started badly when he crashed out of the first qualifying session on Friday after only three laps. But the Texan got his act together to grab the last place on the front row, in the Superpole session. Championship leader Troy Bayliss is joined by his Infostrada teammate Ruben Xaus, wild card rider John Reynolds and his rival in the Championship Troy Corser on the second row.


In a press conference held after the Superpole session, Hodgson’s GSE Ducati team explained that their bikes had benefited from a raft of new parts from the official factory racing department, Ducati Corse. “We were disappointed with what happened at Monza,” said team boss Colin Wright, referring to the myriad of mechanical problems they suffered at the historic Italian circuit. “We wanted to put those difficulties behind us this weekend and getting Neil Hodgson onto second place on the grid is a great way to do that!”

Bruce Transportation Group’s Josh Hayes showed up at Talladega Gran Prix Raceway in Talladega, Alabama on Friday for a practice day, riding a Honda CBR600F4i. Hayes regularly attends practice and track ride sessions at Talladega, which is close to his Gulfport, Mississippi home, to stay sharp.

Hayes was not riding his Honda-backed Bruce Transportation Group AMA 600cc Supersport racebike but rather an ex-press fleet bike equipped with Erion Racing bodywork, exhaust system, an Ohlins shock and braided brake lines. “It chatters the front so bad that it blurs my vision,” said Hayes about the practice bike that he maintains himself.

During the day, Hayes freely gave riding advice to anyone who asked. One rider asked Hayes, “Where exactly do you brake for turn one? We tried to watch you, but it didn’t seem like you broke
at all.” Hayes laughed and began to describe in detail what he did in the corner.

Two Honda CBR929RR riders made it into the top five in Superstock qualifying at Donington but GSX-R1000 pilots still qualified first, third and fourth fastest.

Local hero Chris Burns led the charge on his Suzuki, holding off early qualifying leader Mark Heckles, also a local, on a Honda.

Dienza Ducati rider Vitto Guareschi got the World Supersport action underway at the historic Donington Park race track in Derbyshire, England today in lap-record-breaking time. The Italian was fastest in the first qualifying sesson at 1:36.316. Guareschi’s Dienza Ducati Racing team is based in
Leeds, England.

James Whitham, who holds the outright racing lap record at Donington in the class was down in 11th.

Karl Muggeridge pushed Guareschi hard throughout the qualifying session on the Suzuki Alstare GSX-R600 to take a provisional second on the grid. Paolo Casoli, who narrowly missed out on a win at the last round at Monza, was third-fastest in the afternoon session, held in bright sunshine at the circuit.

Local wild card rider Karl Harris was fifth-fastest in the session. The times may prove important as there is a possibility of rain for the second qualifying session.

Colin Edwards fell early in qualifying and watched Scotsman Steve Hislop set the fastest time in Friday’s World Superbike qualifying session at Donington Park.

World Superbike regular, and reigning British Superbike champion, Neil Hodgson was second fastest, ahead of Ducati Infostrada’s Ruben Xaus.

Troy Bayliss was another faller in the session.

Hodgson set his fastest lap with just a minute in the session left, having gone out for a fast lap with qualifying tires fitted.

Hodgson’s GSE Ducati teammate James Toseland also made a good showing at his local circuit, finishing the session in fifth, ahead of Okada, Bostrom and Chili.

Troy Corser was ninth-fastest ahead of Edwards, who re-entered the session but could only manage 10th-fastest on his spare bike.

The Roadracing World Air Fence Fund broke through the $130,000 barrier late Thursday, the new total reaching $130,140 thanks to new donations. The latest contributors include Anonymous at $500, racer Tom Drumm adding $300 to the $100 he donated earlier, Hewitt & Prout Attorneys at Law at $150, father-of-a-racer Fernando Peris at $100, Louis Gagne at $100, racer Peter Christensen & fiance Stasia Moore at $100, racer Paul D. Harrell at $100, racer George Gervasi adding $25 to the $35 he donated earlier, racer Charles Brothers/CMRA at $50, Francisco Prats at $50, Bernis B. Conatser at $25 and Tony Day at $25.

Paul Harrell, the Formula USA Sportbike winner at Willow Springs, wrote, “John, I know that many have told you to go to Hell, but you just might make it to the pearly gates. Thank you for doing something productive.”


George Gervasi wrote, “I would like to pledge another $25 in addition to the $35 I originally donated towards the fund for Air Fence. I am giving again so Air Fence can be used at WERA and F-USA/CCS events. I cannot state enough how ground-breaking this campaign was and still is. I think we can look at this effort and truly understand the undeniable power of unity and its ability to change an undesirable situation into a positive direction. Democracy if you will…’Take back the AMA!’ Absolutely!”


From Peter Christensen and Statsia Moore: “It’s heart-warming and bone-chilling to read the stories of why others feel drawn to donate to this cause. The loss of life and limb has been far too great. There are no words to express how grateful the friends, families, wives, girlfriends, significant others and anyone who knows and loves someone who races are. Thank you for being an ‘instigator’, John, you are much appreciated.”

Tom Drumm of the WERA BBS wrote, “I am glad that this donation doesn’t have to be made ‘in the memory of’ Aaron Yates, Grant Lopez, or Tony Lupo. At the same time, the racers who didn’t benefit from this Air Fence drive can rest because someone with vision and a heartfelt genuine concern got something done on a grand scale! Bravo, John Ulrich! I’m a club racer and those I compete with also deserve the best possible protection. So in addition to my earlier donation of $100, I’d like to do ($300) more.”
