WSBK - Troy Corser Is Resisting! - Used BMW

At almost 39 years old, Troy Corser is serving as a veteran in the World Superbike: titled twice (on Ducati in 1996 and on Suzuki in 2005), the Australian rider returns to BMW Motorrad in 2011 … The third year will be- she the good ?

When BMW made the decision in 2009 to take over the World Superbike court, it did not do it halfway: the Munich firm arrived with the most powerful production motorcycle on the grid, offering itself the services of two references from the discipline: Troy "double world champion and pole position record man" Corser and Ruben "capable of the worst as well as the best" Xaus…

With the end of their second season fast approaching – don’t forget this weekend’s meeting in Imola for the coronation of Max Biaggi ?! -, the Germans have decided to reveal the identity of one of their two 2011 drivers: Troy Corser! The second remains for the moment unknown.

"We are delighted to continue to collaborate with Troy Corser", says Berthold Hauser, director of BMW Motorrad Motorsport:"Troy has played a major role in the development of our team. He has been with us since day one and his years of experience in the Superbike World Championship have given him a lot of value."

In terms of raw results, the n ° 11 has twice hoisted the S1000RR on the podium this year (on the third step in Monza then in Misano) and once at the head of the starting grid, still in Misano. Last year, Corser had the fastest lap in the race at home at Phillip Island, proving from the first test of the season that the German bomb was in the game..

Eleventh in the provisional drivers’ classification this year, Troy Corser is a long way from Max Biaggi in his RSV4 Factory, also launched two years ago. But the Australian, who is only one point behind Michel Fabrizio and his official Ducati, can hope to grab a few places in the last two races at Imola, then at Magny-Cours..

He will nevertheless have to return to victory, because his last dates back to the very beginning of 2006 – during the first round at Phillip Island – when he was driving his GSX-R n ° 1. Having moved to Yamaha the following year, the two-time champion never climbed to the top. Will the BMW allow him to resound the Australian anthem again? ?

"I think we have already achieved great things together and I believe that with our commitment and our resources, we will be able to make further progress next season.", assures Troy Corser, delighted to extend his contract for a third year within a team which he assimilates to a real family..

The 2011 season will therefore be the 15th for this tireless Croco. Enough to enrich his already widely supplied CV: 351 races contested, 130 podiums (33 victories, 47 second places and 50 third places), 45 fastest laps in the race, 43 pole positions and two titles … soon three ?
