WSS '10 Round 3 | Valencia, day 1

Team ParkinGO Triumph BE1 Racing's goal for tomorrow is qualifying in the front row. The result could have been obtained today but David Salom finished fifth, just two hundreds of a second off of fourth place. His teammate Chaz Davies finished just behind him to take sixth.

Jason Di Salvo had to settle for ninth place due to some drop in performance from the engine in the most important phase of the session, while Matthieu Lagrive is still trying to improve his feeling with the bike.

DAVID SALOM | Triumph Daytona 675 | 5th in 1'36.792 : "We started working on the fork early in the morning in order to improve the feeling when entering the corner. We reached a very good setup, which allowed me to go faster by almost a second compared to the test. We can however improve and hopefully will qualify in the front row tomorrow".

CHAZ DAVIES | Triumph Daytona 675 | 6th in 1'36.933 : "I have the same goal as my teammate: the front row. We're almost there setup-wise, hopefully will get a better feeling when entering the corner. Although this is my first race at Valencia, I liked the track from the first laps".

JASON DI SALVO | Triumph Daytona 675 | 9th in 1'37.658 : "I know I could've done better if it wasn't for that engine issue. We've made however some progress suspension-wise and now the bike fits my riding style. I hope to redeem myself tomorrow".

MATTHIEU LAGRIVE | Triumph Daytona 675 | 13th in 1'38.453 : "My feeling with the bike keeps getting better lap after lap. I just hope to catch up with the others and start some racing".
