Corser and Xaus both aim high for 2010 season
The ambition of two-time world champion Corser remains undiminished: "I definitely want to win another World Championship before the end of my career. The next step along the road to achieving that goal is to collect as many top-five finishes as possible this season. You can sense the determination of BMW Motorrad to climb the ladder."
Xaus is also aiming high for the coming season: "I'm very happy to be competing as part of such a strong works team and to be playing my part in this project from the ground up," explains the Spaniard. "We are looking to take the next step in 2010 to ensure that our goals become reality in the not too distant future."
A new addition to the team is Davide Tardozzi, a man with a proven track record in Superbike racing, and who has worked with, and won titles and races with Corser and Xaus before. The Italian will head up team management and operational control at the race tracks, while Rainer Bäumel will continue as Head of Overall Project Management and Project Management Engineering.
Following the tests in Portimão and Valencia, Team BMW Motorrad Motorsport is now preparing for the first race weekend of the Superbike World Championship in Australia from 26-28 February. Further tests are scheduled at the Phillip Island Circuit on 20, 21 and 22 February ahead of the race.
