09-28-02  IMOLA - QUALIFYING & SUPERPOLE Ducati Corse Press Xaus & Bayliss (Ducati Infostrada) second and third in Imola Superpole – Bostrom (Ducati L&M) improves to sixth. Ducati Infostrada riders Ruben Xaus and Troy Bayliss will start tomorrow’s thirteenth and final round of the World Superbike Championship at Imola from second and third position on the grid, after Honda’s Colin Edwards took pole in the decisive Superpole session. Ben Bostrom (Ducati L&M) moved up from a qualifying ninth to sixth place and a row 2 start for Sunday’s two races. Ben Bostrom (Ducati L&M) was not entirely satisfied with his Superpole lap despite moving up from ninth overnight to sixth on the grid. “That was a terrible Superpole lap and I don’t really know why,” declared Ben. “After the wet morning session, I had programmed myself to lap in a certain way, where to brake and where to accelerate and I think I just carried on like that in Superpole. The bike feels great, the tyres are also great, it’s just that the rider wasn’t working well today. I have no complaints, sixth place on the grid means I will just have to work a bit harder tomorrow, but I’m sure it’s going to be a good race.” SUPERPOLE TIMES in association with Breil, the official timekeeper of Ducati Corse.
