assen 2011 checa box
Rea opened the second row from which we expected something more. Of course, the right wrist is still not in place, but this is the home track and his team hoped certainly a different result. We expected something more even Biaggi but after destroying the first bike in practice in the afternoon had to use the second Aprilia at his disposal with which he had shot very little. Max suffers from problems of chatter at the front and hopes to resolve them before the two races tomorrow. Good for seventh place Sykes remains the top driver of the Kawasaki. A slip in the third round has compromised the final result of Melandri who was preparing to give the assault on the pole of Checa, but finished in the sand of the escape route. As for the second row of Biaggi Melandri does not preclude a race to the summit of Melandri. Disappoint the two BMW Haslam and Corser who were not able to enter the final phase, as well as Camier and Lascorz.
The chronicle of the Superpole
In the first phase that precedes Laverty best time for his team-mate Melandri. In third place ahead of Haga, Corser, Biaggi Haslam, Sykes, Rea, Camier, Checa, Lascorz and Smrz. Rider Effenbert-Liberty after dominating the evidence, threatened to be excluded in the first round, since the final lap Fabrizio useful did worse of him for only ten milliseconds. In addition to Fabrizio missed the phase two also Xaus, Guintoli and Badovini.
Smrz draws in the second session with a time of 1’35 “523 above Checa, Rea, Melandri, Biaggi, Sykes, Laverty and Haga. Surprising exclusion of both BMW drivers who do not have access then the third and final stage, along with Lascorz and Camier that assigns Haga for only 7 / 10 of a second.
The third session opens with the best time in Checa 1’35 “292. Laverty and Smrz approach the pilot of the Althea team but could not improve his time. Melandri on his first flying lap of the session drops and ended the eighth. Nobody can do better than Checa wins Superpole as the third in a row after those of Donington and Phillip Island. Second place went to Smrz, before Laverty and Haga. Second row for Johnny Rea in front of Sykes, Biaggi and Marco Melandri.

Ever since Aprilia's entry into the World Superbike class, there have been rumblings of discontent about the legality of the RSV4. Initially, there were accusations that the bike had not sold the number of units required to be homologated for racing in World Superbikes, which were later joined by claims that the Italian manufacturer was using an illegal fuel injection system, as well as mutterings over Aprilia's use of an aftermarket camshaft gear drive set. The complaints about the injectors and cam drive eventually cause the World Superbike rules to be changed, requiring a completely stock fuel injection system to be used, as well as leaving the camshaft drive system as originally designed.
