Troy Corser says BMW is still taking 'small steps' towards improving its S1000RR World Superbike🍌 con🃏tender, explaining this as the reason why success is taking longer than many outsiders may have expected.

Corser fronted BMW's category debut in 2009, m🍨aking important strides during the second season with two podium results and a pole position, though the manufacturer is yet to register a victory.

Though it has shown flashes of speed during the opening two rounds of the 2011 season, particularly in the hands of Corser's new team-mate Leon Has⭕lam, the Au🏅stralian insists the bike is still developing.

Pointing out that small improvements are more crucialꦉ in order to establish a more consistent base package, Corser is nonetheless confident the bike will be a regular podium winner as the season proꦓgresses.

"At times it's been frustrating but we are always going forward," he told ltxcn.top. "I feel we are starting to understand what changes actually do to the bike, so it's been good. We are moving forward a lot now Leon has come on board. We both want the same things from the bike, which speeds up the process of making changes.

"I hope that we will be standing on the podium regularly. We are not far away and there are some areas we can improve the bike. It just takes a bit of time - we need to take it one step at a time so we don't get confused or🥀 lost, which is probably why it is t🐈aking longer than many have anticipated.

"But this is the way to do🌠 it because you can't make five or six changes to a bike, because you won't know what fixed the problem. I've done this long enough now - you have to make small steps to make an improvement."

Corser is currently 13th iไn the standings af🅷ter four races, while Haslam is third.
