Honda Previews Misano World Superbike

Long-term championship leader James Toseland (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda CBR1000RR) has another opportunity to extend his championship lead this weekend, as a revamped and reversed Misano circuit welcomes the 2004 champion and his peer group to yet another overheated weekend of top class Superbike action.

Toseland has led the championship in frequently impressive style since round one and even after a mishap in the rain at Silverstone last time out, he recovered well enough to work his way back through almost the entire field to finish eighth. He is now on 237 points, 23 ahead of Noriyuki Haga and 36 ahead of Max Biaggi.

Roberto Rolfo (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda CBR1000RR) has made great advances in set-up and familiarity with his machine at competitive pace recently, and is one of three supported Honda riders in the Superbike class hailing from Italy.
