Alstare Suzuki Test at Phillip Island World Superbike Champion Troy Corser and Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra team mate Yukio Kagayama will today finish their third day of testing the new 2006 GSX-R1000s at Phillip Island in Australia.
Corser was unofficially the fastest rider on the circuit yesterday with a reported time of 1:33.6 seconds, two-tenths quicker than AMA Superbike Champion Mat Mladin aboard his Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000.
Mladin suffered a high-speed crash in the afternoon session and suffered a cut arm that required stitches, but is expected to be fit for today's sessions.

Biaggi Testing F1 Car Today Max Biaggi will test the Midlands F1 car today at Silverstone. It seems that the team has an opening for a test driver and Biaggi has been given a shot at either the job or to try his hand at car racing.
Max Biaggi is still in the US--he's been here since prior to the start of the Supercross season--and denies reports that he's signed with Suzuki.
Eurosport reported that Biaggi had signed a deal with Alstare Suzuki for the '06 WSBK season, but Biaggi says no deal has been concluded.
Biaggi insiders were saying last week that the Italian would ride an Alstare Suzuki sponsored by Camel in the 2006 WSBK series, but clearly there are hurdles that need to be jumped before Max will ride the bike.

Biaggi states on his website:
quote:reading news papers I've realized that the excitement between me and Superbike, or however for my future, it's really high. As I already mentioned you last week, on January 10th, the SBK is a championship that has excited me lots of time, that I've followed and always esteemed and I have never said that would never have raced there, as someone wrote!!
I've also read, with a bit of irony, that I would have signed a contract for the 2006 season with Suzuki Corona, even two days ago... this thing shocked me!
Surely if a concrete proposal arrived, I would be happy to consider it.
In this period I've had different opportunities, some of them very interesting, and I am thinking what option could be the best one for me.
If for absurd I'd add two extra wheels, the show will change!
In this period I am having good fun driving the GO-Kart 100cc ... could it be a sign???? Ah! It's also true that a few minutes from here we have Disneyland...
The bike is my great passion, but I would love to have at the same time a good fun and an healthy competition, these aspect are essential for me.
Yesterday, for example, I've trained with my Supermotard bike and my friend
Jeff Word (7 times world champion Supercross Ama) and I've enjoyed so much. This is to make you understand how easily I have fun!
Of course is also very important to find a good technical packet, in order to be able to race a satisfactory season, for whom like me is racing for winning.
However you know that, despite this is a particular and very delicate moment of my life, I'm living it with serenity and this thanks to all of you that always have a good word and cover up my email-box with all of your love.
Thanks guys.
Ah! for everybody: I'm still in America, just to avoid others misunderstandings...
