Misano final qualifying - leaving ourselves a lot to do
28-06-2008
Final qualifying today did not go to plan. Dan's bike developed a clutch problem at the start of the session that resulted in no opportunity to improve times from yesterday. Gino improved on yesterday's times but then had a crash (Gino is fine) with others then able to put in faster times and overtake Gino's grid position. Gino is on the third row and Dan is on the fifth row of the grid for the race this afternoon. We have a challenge to achieve the results that we want from this round but both Gino and Dan are ready for it. The race is live on SBK TV at www.worldsbk.com at 17.40 CET.

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.
