CHAMP CORSER READY FOR FRENCH FINALE The Team Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra rider, who claimed his second title and Suzuki''s first World Superbike Championship last weekend in Imola, lines up alongside team mate Yukio Kagayama with the aim of going out in style. Both riders were happy when they tested there recently and Kagayama, for once, will not be seeing a circuit for the first time on a Friday practice. The circuit was originally built to stage an F1 race and this will be the third year in a row that the track has hosted a World Superbike event. Last year saw a dramatic end to the season when Briton James Toseland snatched the title from his team mate and local favourite Regis Laconi in the final race. Troy Corser: ''It was great to take the title last weekend and not have to worry about waiting until Magny-Cours to do it. It is a shame that the second race was cancelled in Imola but the conditions were far too dangerous to race. We had a little celebration on Sunday night with the whole team, but we''ll be saving the proper party for Sunday night at Magny-Cours. Before that though, we''ve got some business to attend to. I feel very good about Magny-Cours and I will be aiming to finish the season in style with a couple of wins. I was very happy when we tested there so we''ll be starting the weekend with lots of information and ready to race. Two wins would be good, though I suppose I could share the wins with Yukio and end the season as we started in Qatar.'' Yukio Kagayama: ''Firstly I''d like to congratulate Troy-san for the title. It''s important for him, our team and also Suzuki. I don''t think Suzuki have realised this achievement yet, because the season is not over. I am happy to go to Magny-Cours because I have tested there and so it will not be yet another new circuit for me to learn. Imola was a disappointment for me but I hope to make a good show at Magny-Cours and end with a couple of podiums - and maybe a win.'' 2004 Results:
