CORSER''S DOUBLE PODIUM Team Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra rider Troy Corser consolidated his series lead with a pair of hard-fought-for third positions in the sixth round of the Superbike World Championship at Misano today. The high temperature and very humid conditions would have been testing enough if there had only been one 25-lap race, but to compete in two was an absolute feat of endurance. At the end of the day, Corser was happy to survive, take two podiums and leave with a 73-point advantage over his nearest rival, Chris Vermeulen. Suzuki continue to lead the Manufacturer''s Championship with their GSX-R1000s earning 263 points so far, 63 ahead of Ducati. Corser''s team mate Yukio Kagayama had a day that he will be happy to forget: He crashed out in the first race holding third place and, because his bike was too badly damaged, had to use his number two bike in the second race. But the number two bike had a different set-up and he struggled to keep up with the pace, ending up 12th. Both races today were won by Frenchman Regis Laconi (Ducati), but he had to work hard for the wins: Vermeulen and Corser had challenged him throughout both 25-lappers, but Laconi was on a mission and would not be denied.
