Für Ben Spies präsentiert sich die laufende Rennsaison viel düsterer als man hätte vorausahnen können und mit bislang enttäuschenden Ergebnissen. In seinem Umfeld geht man jedoch davon aus, dass der Texaner sein früheres Niveau wieder erklimmen kann und der Circuit der Catalunya gilt als die ideale Rennstrecke, um wieder in die Erfolgsspur zu gelangen.

ap1_1622.jpgAnother victory, another second place, another best race lap, the best ever team points result and second place in the riders' and manufacturers' standings made Memorial Day a day to remember for Marco Melandri and the BMW Motorrad Team at Miller Motorsports Park. The Italian took his second victory in two races on the BMW S 1000 RR in race two " after finishing second in race one and his overall result moves him into second place in the championship just 18 points behind Biaggi."It is amazing," said Melandri. "My team and BMW did an awesome job. Here in Miller it was my worst weekend last year, and it was the worst for BMW, too. So going home with two podiums, a win and a second place, is like a dream."At the start of race one, Marco used the long straight and the powerful BMW engine of his RR to catapult himself from ninth into the leading group, but he had to take second best to Checa, who took his fifth personal win at the Utah track. "In race one, I was pushing like in qualifying from the first lap until the end. The tyre was working very well until the end. Yesterday we were struggling a bit too much, but today fortunately the weather was better for us. And I was feeling even more comfortable on the bike with less fuel in the tank. I tried to make the life not easy to Carlos, but in some corners, I could not go his line with the four cylinder bike. I tried to catch him, but on the last lap I tried not to push too much because it was easy to make a mistake, and a second place and the podium was good after such a tough qualifying."Melandri then went even better to take the maximum points in the second encounter when Checa crashed out early on but he now feels that the bike is competitive almost everywhere. "In race two, for sure I had a little bit of luck with Carlo crashing. I was struggling a bit in the beginning, and when Johnny passed me I lost the concentration. It took me some time to catch him. But again, when the fuel level dropped down I felt so much better on the bike and fortunately I could pass Johnny on the straight because my BMW engine was so strong. Otherwise it would have been very difficult for me to try to make a pass. I am happy because the bike is working well on different types of tracks. But now we have to be focused, we cannot think that we are going to be on the top every Sunday so we have to keep working. But my team made a great job, thanks to everyone, to all the guys back in Germany. I am so happy and proud to be with BMW. This is the best team I ever worked with."

589_r06_rea_finish.jpgJonathan Rea took fourth and second place finishes in the two sixth round World Superbike championship races at Miller Motorsports Park in the USA. Rea re-started the delayed race from sixth place on the grid and, after early leader Carlos Checa crashed out, the 25-year-old was quickly embroiled in a thrilling four-way tussle for the lead with Marco Melandri, Chaz Davies and Max Biaggi. Taking the lead on lap 11, Rea controlled the race until the final lap, with the superior handling of his CBR1000RR clearly visible in the twistier parts of the track. However, Melandri had the edge on speed down Miller's 1.2km straight and Rea finally crossed the line just 0.2s behind the Italian.Jonathan Rea: "We knew we had good pace but I had some front chatter in race one. It was coming from the engine braking so we released that a bit for race two. We changed the front tyre as well, because the temperature had gone up. That gave me the confidence to push because I knew the guys in front in race one had used the same one. It was good, and my guys gave me a little bit more power off the turn. It's clear to see how well the bike is working and how much traction I've got. It's just the big, long straight here at Salt Lake where we've been down on speed. Without dwelling on the negatives, my guys gave me a great bike and it's working really well. I've got real confidence now and don't feel like I'm riding on the edge - it's quite controlled, which is a good thing, so thanks to all the team for their continued hard work. Nobody's giving up and, without thinking about the championship, it's just nice to come back here to the winner's enclosure and be on the podium. After the nightmare of last year at Miller, it's really cool to be fighting for wins."Rea is now called upon to do the same at Misano Adriatico, where he scored his first-ever WSBK win in 2009. Last year however he crashed in the warm-up, suffering concussion, and that together with an injury to his right wrist meant that he had to miss a few rounds last season.

041_p06_sykes_ambience.jpgKawasaki Racing Team rider Tom Sykes could only score an eighth and a fifth place finish in the USA but in so doing went equal second in the table. Having qualified third on the grid, despite struggling for a time to match his usual practice excellence at a circuit that proved challenging for man and machine, Sykes was unable to overcome a less than ideal race set-up in the first race, which went to a full 21-lap distance. He led for the first four laps but eventually dropped back as he was unable to make corner entries as fast as many of his rivals. He finished eighth.Race two was started then stopped after three laps when another rider's machine hit the kerbstones and in the resultant crash spilt significant quantities of oil on the track surface, causing a long delay to the eventual 18-lap restart. Tom was second off the grid for that race but he was forced back to fifth and had to battle hard to the end with Eugene Laverty to keep his fifth place."We were much better in race two," admitted Sykes. "We made a bit of a change in set-up, three changes really, and I was able to be a bit more competitive. In the early laps I got behind Melandri and felt really good but unfortunately Davies came past and really upset my rhythm. It made it difficult for me to do what I needed to do, so my pace slowed. I just missed that slipstream from Melandri. In race one I was missing some front traction so I was not able to get the bike into the corners very well and obviously that affected my mid-corner and exit speed. You cannot give anything away to these boys but unfortunately this weekend it looks like we did for a while. We cannot get carried away with any thoughts like that because we are still second equal on points in the championship despite having a disappointing weekend by recent standards. We have got some better tracks coming up and I am looking forward to getting there. It is just hard for me to sit in my chair and debrief when some of the others are on the podium spraying champagne. I have got the taste for it now! On balance the guys in our team have done a great job again at this difficult track and in race two we were able to make changes that worked out quite well."
