The 2007 World Superbike Championship comes to a thrilling finale this weekend at the French circuit of Magny-Cours. The final round of the championship will be played out in true dramatic form with the top three riders all in with a chance of lifting the trophy on Sunday.

Only one weekend ago, the race in Vallelunga, Italy saw the championship possibilities left wide open as Haga took a third and fourth while championship leader Toseland could only manage third and 11th. Biaggi also got in on the act when he took first and second to move into second championship place. With only 33 points separating these three riders there is everything still to fight for.

It's not just the riders' championship that is at stake this coming weekend. The manufacturer championship will also be decided at the final round. Honda currently leads but, with Yamaha only 3 points adrift, a good result from either Haga, Corser or Nakatomi could see Yamaha take the honours.

Haga's performance at Magny-Cours has been positive in the past; he won in 2004 and last year came second and fourth as well as taking the fastest lap of race one. This year it's all about the top step of the podium as the Japanese star is only too aware.

Corser might be out of championship contention but there is still a steely determination about him. Mr. Superpole has twice taken pole position at the French circuit - in 2004 and 2006. In fact 2006 was a very good year for him; as well as pole he took best lap, the race record, came third in race one and second in race two. Corser goes to Magny-Cours looking to end the season on a high with his first win for Yamaha.

Troy Corser
I'm looking forward to the last race. I've gone well on all the other bikes I've ridden there and Nori's shown how well the Yamaha can go at Magny-Cours so it should be a good combination! Of course I'm going there looking to win, I'm hungry for one before the end of the season. Vallelunga was a bit of a mixed bag for me with a DNF in race one and a fourth in race two. I'm keen to move on from that and end 2007 on a positive note. What could be better than giving Yamaha the manufacturer title!

Magny-Cours is going to be a real animal fight for the win. Toseland, Biaggi, Bayliss, Corser and I are all looking at that top step with determination. It's going to come down to who wants it the most and who has the best set-up. But I plan to spoil everyone else's party!
