Yamaha Win WSB Manufacturers Title


Yamaha has won the 2007 WSB Manufacturers Championship with a 28-point margin following the weekends season finale at Magny-Cours.
Both Yamaha Motor Italia riders put in 100% effort to give the manufacturer the title with Noriyuki Haga taking the double win and Troy Corser coming home in third and fourth.
Haga’s double win was bittersweet as the rider ended the day just two points off the championship title. This is the third time Noriyuki has finished second in the championship.
Corser’s results today means he finishes the 2007 season in fifth place and today saw him take the record for the highest number of WSB race starts ever with 276 – one ahead of Pierfrancesco Chili.
