• 1727 - That's us done for today, we hope you enjoyed the service.  We will be back tomorrow, same bat channel etc. etc.
• 1724 - Aussie Superstock Final Qualifying / Combined / Grid
• 1713 - Aussie Superstock Final Qualifying session has 5 minutes to go and the current order is - Trounson - Higgins - Bonthorne - Broadfoot - Kokshoorn - Cowie - Sciberras - McLinden
• 1710 - Alex Barros quote after first qualifying - "The team is working very good and I understand the bike better every day. We will be more competitive as we move forward. Because we have had no tests before Qatar and Australia we are playing catch up and thanks to this good weather we have had a very good practice today.  We have had such a great improvement in comparison to Qatar because we have tested new things on the bike today and tomorrow we will work on the tyre duration (life) and on the bike some more."
• 1705 - Troy Bayliss quote after first qualifying - "Things went well this morning for the first exit, and I expected to go quite a bit faster in the second session but actually in the end the track was quite hot and a bit slower and I only bettered the time by a tenth of a second.  I stayed out and did ten laps on the race tyre and my second last lap was only two-tenths off my best. So it all went quite well but took a little while to get going, then in the end it all came together. We'll see how tomorrow goes, we've got second qualifying first thing in the morning, when it'll be cooler and I think it's going to be better.  I didn't know Alex was behind me, which was when he did his time, but I know he is going to be coming in the future anyway, that's no problem.  All I know is that I was consistent on my race tyre and that's the main thing at the moment. At the end of the session the guys thought I was only going to do 3 or 4 laps to see how the bike was, but it was feeling really good so I ended up doing 10 and ran out of petrol on the way into Honda Corner but luckily I could roll all the way back to the pits!"
• 1700 - Steve Martin quote after first qualifying - "The track is definitely a lot more slippery than at the test so it is difficult to do the same sort of times. The wind has been up and changing direction all day and our bike seems to be sensitive to which way the wind blows here. We still have a fair bit to try and see if we can eke out a few tenths because it is so tight at the top. I did a good run of consistently good lap times and I am concentrating on setting the bike up for the race, not for qualifying."
• 1657 - Karl Muggeridge quote after first qualifying - "We just started off on the wrong leg, just racing, racing around to try and get everything sorted out. I'm putting too much pressure on myself to try and get it right, rather than being calm. So I made too many mistakes and not getting things right. It's a little bit foreign at the moment so I just need to get it settled down. It'll work out for sure."
• 1655 - James Toseland quote after first qualifying - "We stuck a new tyre in the bike near the end and still did a pretty decent time. This tyre was spinning towards the end a lot more than the others so I think if we had the same tyre in the rear as we had earlier we could have challenged even more. The power of the Honda is awesome now so we need to try and get as much grip as we can. It's no good to have this power and just get it spinning. But the bike is good, and I'm happy that I'm riding consistently."

• 1536 - Aitchison on top now with a 1m38.49

• 1515 - Toseland has pushed Corser back to fourth spot...
• 1511 - Corser back out now, all the top ten are on track for a last crack at taking top spot but lots of traffic on track
• 1509 - Lots of traffic on the track now but Bayliss is back on track and going for it by the look of his body language.  Barros has headed out now and Toseland also back on track.  Corser will be heading out soon no doubt...
• 1508 - Lorenzo Lanzi is smoking the Ducati around Phillip Island but it is not translating to laptimes as the factory Ducati man is nearly two seconds slower than his team mate Bayliss who sits atop the charts on 1m33.387.  Barros, Corser and Toseland all in the pits, presumably for new rubber as this session winds down
• 1507 - 7 minutes remaining and the order is - Bayliss - Barros - Corser - Toseland - Kagayama - Haga - Walker - Clementi - Muggeridge - Neukirchner - Martin - Rolfo
• 1503 - Bayliss improves with that lap down to a 1m33.387.  On the next lap he ran on at turn four and took the escape road exit (We found out later this was due to running out of fuel)... Troy will no doubt be in the pits for a new tyre when he comes around to the pit entry.  10 minutes to run...
• 1502 - Bayliss still 3-tenths under at second split.... Toseland lost a fair bit of time in that sector
• 1501 - Bayliss about to smash that.... 4-tenths under at the first split this time around...  Toseland on a flyer too....
• 1500 - Bayliss under at the second split...  And goes fastest now with a 1m33.698
• 1458 - Toseland looking to be quickest this time though... Under at first AND second split...  But no loses time in the final sector and only puts in a 1m34.1  Kagayama up to fifth and going well now, Walker sixth, Haga seventh, Clementi eighth, Martin ninth, Rolfo tenth
• 1457 - Toseland on a flyer again now...  A tenth under at the first split...  Loses a few tenths in the middle of the lap though.  Bayliss heading out of pit lane again.  Barros back on track also.  All the top four are currently on track and circulating. 16 minutes to run
• 1454 - Toseland up to fourth quickest with a 1m34.08. 20 minutes remaining
• 1453 - Toseland on a flyer now, currently sixth but on the pace at the first split...
• 1452 - Corser under at the first split this time around...  Fairly level at the second split... Fails to go quicker
• 1451 - Bayliss again under at the first split... Corser pretty much on the split pace... Neither rider improves
• 1450 - Bayliss under at the first split... Loses a couple of tenths in the second split... Doesn't improve
• 1449 - Corser back on track now after a long time in the pits
• 1448 - Bayliss back out now
• 1446 - The top three, Barros, Corser and Bayliss, are all currently in the pits
• 1445 - The Petronas boys still having trouble keeping their engine temperatures under control with a track temperature at the moment of around 56°C
• 1444 - Haga up to fourth quickest now to give Yamaha fans something to get excited about
• 1443 - Bayliss very fast at the first split this time around... Barros still on it too..  But then they both enter pit lane after both going under at the first split...
• 1442 - Barros doesn't improve his best time but Bayliss does to a 1m33.911 but still only good enough for third quickest and the Brazilian tops the charts in front of the two Aussies. Clementi a surprise fourth quickest after an off earlier in the session.
• 1441 - Barros is behind Bayliss on the track as the pair continue to set the pace... Both under at the splits....
• 1440 - Barros on top now with a 1m33.790.  Corser still second, Bayliss third.  Barros and Bayliss both on another flyer now...
• 1439 - Bayliss and Barros both on flyers now and both under at the first split.... Both still under at the second split...
• 1437 - Bayliss a tenth under at the first split this time around again... And again drops a little in the second sector but only 8-hundredths off Corser...  Loses more time in the final sector this time around and fails to improve.
• 1436 - Bayliss on a flyer... Under at the first split... Loses a little time in the second sector but only 2-hundredths behind Corser at this point... Loses more time on the final sector to go through with a 1m33.963 to improve his time but fails to knock Corser off the top spot
• 1431 - While this morning the wind was blowing mainly down the straight it has now reversed direction and is blowing up the straight and as such top speeds are appreciably down. Corser is yet to crack 300kph in this session.  Rolfo and Xaus have the highest top speeds thus far in this session with 307kph although they are only 9th and 15th respectively on the time sheets.
• 1430 - Corser out and trying now, Chili has tucked in behind him to try and follow
• 1419 - Corser just ran off but rejoined the circuit okay
• 1418 - Corser first man in the 1m33s

• 1336 - Charpentier on a real flyer now...  1m35.869 to Charpentier, 1.3 seconds quicker than anyone else with 22 minutes remaining.  Parkes is second quickest on 1m37.11 and has the highest top speed at 276kph
• 1330 - World Supersport First Qualifying well underway now with nearly half an hour remaining.  Current state of play has Charpentier on top from Parkes, Curtain, Sofuoglu, Fores, Sanchini, Veneman, Thomas, Harms, Tiberio.
• 1302 - Aussie Superstock First Qualifying Results
• 1256 - Pictorial - Gallery C - More pit images from Phillip Island
• 1254 - Five minutes left in Aussie Superstock qualifier and it is Trounson on top with a 1m44.5 from Bonthorne, Higgins, Nicholson, Broadfoot, Baker, Mather and Kokshoorn
• 1243 - Aussie Superstock First Qualifying on now
• 1230 - Aussie Superbike First Qualifying Results
• 1228 - Session winding down now and it is Fergusson on top from Jamie Stauffer, Giles, Allerton, Holland and Bugden.
• 1215 - Giles, Jamie Stauffer and Adam Fergusson all in the 1m36s now.
• 1213 - Australian Superbikes on track now and Giles straight down to 1m37.0 straight out of the box

• 1200 - Dying seconds of the session now and the current order is Aitchison, Fergusson, Staring, Greedy, Allerton, Waters, Stauffer, O'Halloran
• 1156 - Aitchison to the top of the timesheets now (1m38.93) followed by Fergusson (1m39.29)
• 1155 -Staring on top now (1m39.37) from Fergusson (1m39.39), Aitchison up to third (1m39.46), Greedy up to fourth (1m40.06), Allerton next best on 1m40.19.
• 1153 - Well the Michelin boys are out to take part in qualifying at least, still to be seen whether they race or not...  Fergusson quickest with six minutes to go in this first 20 minute session (1m39.39) followed by Staring (1m39.61), Waters (1m40.34) and Jamie Stauffer fourth quickest (1m40.34).  We believe the Michelin boys will be on their 2005 homologated front and 2006 homologated rear but as no 2006 fronts have arrived in time due to a shipping delay in Europe then the situation is far from clear.
• 1135 - Australian Supersport First Qualifying up next, a 20 minute session.
• 1133 - World Superbike First Practice Results
• 1129 - Flag about to come out to signal the end of the session...
• 1127 - Bayliss back in the pits
• 1126 - Bayliss just missed out on better his time, a 1m34.52 that time around not up to his best of this session (1m33.48), but he did set a new fastest top speed for the day thus far with 313kph. Walker and Toseland back on track. Only a few minutes remaining...

• 1109 - Pictorial - Gallery B - Pit images from Phillip Island

• 1045 - Top five with 45 minutes to run - Corser (1m34.1) - Bayliss (1m34.4) - Haga (1m34.4) - Lanzi (1m34.5) - Toseland (1m34.7)
• 1040 - Most riders in pit-lane making changes
• 1038 - Corser going quicker again at the first split... Lost a couple of tenths in the second split though... And goes through with a slower 1m34.5 that time around
• 1037 - Corser quickest now with a 1m34.18. The Suzuki also quickest down the straight with TC hitting 312 on that lap
• 1035 - Bayliss and Haga first men in the 1m34s, not long before we have a swag of them in the 1m33s I expect.
• 1034 - Bayliss already on his third lap now, this will be a 1m34 from the splits
• 1032 - The Kawasaki is very fast in a straight line as Chris Walker on his first lap recorded 305kph down the straight!  What speed are we going to see when they are up to full pace....?
• 1029 - World Superbikes about to head out of pit lane for their first practice session
• 1023 - Full Results from World Supersport First Practice
• 1015 - Charpentier on top with a few minutes remaining in this session, fastest by far with a 1m36.2 but still a second away from the time Chris Vermeulen set here in 2003. Parkes second quickest (1m37.0) then it is Curtain, Thomas, Harms, Gobert, Sofuoglu, Tiberio, Sanchini, Veneman. Brookes 15th (1m39.4). Only a couple of laps left in this session
• 0959 - In trying to get a feeling with the Ducati that he is happy with Josh Brookes is trying some settings very different than those normally used by Ohlins and Ducati on their supersport machines. He is up to 10th now with a 1m39.7 but that is still a few seconds away from what he has done here on his domestic specification Honda.  Early days yet and Josh did work in a suspension shop for a few years early in his career and thus should have an idea of directions to take with suspension settings and it will be interesting to see if he has enough time during this weekend's practice and qualifying sessions to get the right ingredients for a good recipe that will bear competitive lap time fruit.
• 0955 - Parkes on top now with a 1m37.03. 
• 0954 - 25 minutes remaining in this session now and Curtain's early 1m37.2 still on top of the charts from Charpentier (1m37.8), Parkes (1m37.9), Gobert (1m39.4), Thomas (1m39.6). Most of those times wouldn't even get the riders on to the front row at a domestic Australian Supersport round ahead of privateers so there is plenty more to come speed wise from these boys today.
• 0940 - Curtain and Parkes the early pacesetters as riders slowly work up to speed. Curtain put in a 1m37.2 on his fourth lap but it won't be long before we see 36s in this session if conditions prove favourable.
• 0937 - World Supersport bikes on track now for first practice. Lovely blue skies, nice temperate conditions but a fairly stiff breeze blowing down the main straight.  This will help riders down the straight but can run them wide a little at turns 1 and 3.
• 0935 - The first piece of drama to unfold at Phillip Island this weekend unfolded in the Aussie Supersport paddock that are here to participate in support races this weekend. Michelin have failed to get the homologated front tyres for the 2006 season here for their riders (Fergusson - Allerton - Staring - Waters etc.) in time for this weekend and as such these riders do not have a tyre that is legal to ride on under Australian Supersport rules. Honda have proposed to race anyway as this is a non championship round etc. but organisers have said that if they race they must start from the back of the grid and take a 30 second penalty.  Obviously the Michelin runners are none too pleased but that is to be expected and they also can't expect to race on a non homologated front tyre.  What is our expectation of how it will unfold....?  I don't think we will see any Michelin runners take part in the Australian Supersport support races this weekend. 
• 0925 - Welcome to our live page direct to you from Phillip Island.  If you are not familiar with this service it may be time to give you a quick run down on what goes on.  This page will refresh in your browser every 45 seconds. During the day we constantly post new details on this page of any happenings going down at the track and links to all results etc. after each session. There will be quiet times when nothing newsworthy is happening but if you stay on this page you will be the first to know anything of note that does happen.  Simple really. The World Supersport machines head out on track at 0935 for their first 45 minute practice session before the World Superbikes hit the track for their first practice at 1030.  - Click here to download the full schedule of events - (195kb PDF - Opens in new window)
