Muggeridge Quickest of those that Turned Up...

Troy Bayliss, Max Biaggi, Troy Corser, Nori Haga and Michel Fabrizio were all absent from the two day Official World Superbike test session which finished today at Valencia.

Of those who couldn't come up with a note from their mum, Karl Muggeridge (DF Racing Honda) was fastest, with a time of 1:34.252. Muggeridge: “"This bike has got a lot of potential. I didn’t go as well in race set-up but for the Spanish Round we’ll have some new electronic parts so I’m feeling confident. The DF Racing guys are doing a great job and I think we’re going to get some good results this season”.

Second quickest was Ruben Xaus (Sterilgarda Go Eleven Ducati) on 1:34.265. Xaus: “We sorted out the problems that slowed us at Phillip Island and now we’ve got an improved engine I can be up there with the other guys”
