Corser increases WSB lead, while Yamaha takes first win

The series for standard 1000cc roadbikes has reached a very interesting stage with the halfway point of the series reached. Yamaha R1 bikes won the first three races of the series and looked to be running away with the series, but wins to Suzuki GSX1000R machines in the last two rounds have seen Australian Craig Coxhell’s EMS Racing Suzuki move into contention for the series win.

The BRNO race was won by Craig Coxhell (Suzuki), who passed long-time leader Kenan Sofuoglu (Yamaha) on the very last lap with Massimo Roccoli (Yamaha) taking third.

While no Honda FireBlades or Kawasaki ZX10s are entered in the series, three MV Agusta 1000s are in the mix with Italian Vittoria Iannuzzo’s MV running eighth in the series with a best place of third at the last round of San Marino.

Superstock 1000 Results: 1 Coxhell (AUS-Suzuki), 2 Sofuoglu (TUR-Yamaha), 3 Roccoli (ITA-Yamaha), 4 Van Keymeulen (BEL-Yamaha), 5 Solli (NOR-Yamaha), 6 Polita (ITA-Suzuki), 7 Chiarello (ITA-Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra).
