Vallelunga, Saturday 7th July  2007 OPENING DAY BEST TIMES FROM BAYLISS

REIGNING CHAMP SECURES FIRST DAY ADVANTAGE
The testing form of 2001 and 2006 World Superbike Champion Troy Bayliss (Ducati Xerox) has proved to be almost peerless on many previous occasions, and he continued his recent seam of excellence by posting the fastest time on the first day of official SBK testing at Vallelunga. Championship leader James Toseland (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda) was second quickest, setting a 1'37.423 to Bayliss' 1'37.287. The top three riders on day one are also the top three riders in the current championship chase, with Noriyuki Haga (Yamaha Motor Italia) setting a 1'37.535 at the Vallelunga track.

KAGAYAMA BACK ON FORM AGAIN
After a tough start to the season Yukio Kagayama (Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra) has been back to top pace recently, and finished fourth today; his 1'37.655 also put him two places ahead of his team-mate and local favourite Max Biaggi, who was sixth. Splitting the Alstare men was perennial force to be reckoned with, Troy Corser (Yamaha Motor Italia). First of the non-official entrants was Ruben Xaus (Ducati Sterilgarda) ahead of fastest Kawasaki rider, Regis Laconi (PSG-1 Kawasaki Corse). Seventeen regular SBK riders set times on day one.
