Corser becomes a race 2 man
Troy moved up to seventh place, after slicing his way past race 1 winner Michel Fabrizio and the talented Englishman Leon Camier. At the flag just four-tenths of a second separated him from sixth place, which went to James Toseland, but despite everything Corser was pleased again with his race 2 performance.
"In the first race I really had zero grip after only five laps. I had no confidence to attack any more, and I literally just rolled around the track till the end of the race. We changed the bike's set-up a little bit between the races, and we used the Diablo B rear tyre spec instead of the A spec as we had over the entire weekend. The consistency of this tyre was much better than in the first race. I am quite happy with the changes, in the second race I was able to ride the bike. Unfortunately I lost a little of the initial grip in the middle of the corner. I was really quick in the first sectors, but could not really follow the other bikes at the top of the hill. This was a little frustrating. I tried to adjust over the course of the race and rode the bike completely differently to how I had over the whole weekend."
