Team Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra rider Max Biaggi and Yukio Kagayama spent most of the opening day of qualifying for the fifth-round World Superbike Championship round at Assen setting up their GSX-R1000s rather than posting blistering lap times.
Biaggi, who was also learning the new revised track layout, ended the day 12th and Kagayama 17th after focussing on detail changes to their machinery, but both aim to be back amongst the top runners tomorrow.
Series leader James Toseland (Honda) posted the day’s fastest time, just over a tenth-of-a-second ahead of his nearest rival Noriyuki Haga (Yamaha). Third quickest was Ruben Xaus (Ducati) with reigning champion Troy Bayliss (Ducati) fourth.
