Alvaro Bautista have a good history on Jerez. 1 win on 125cc class, and 2 times on 250cc is a good asset for him. After a difficult race at Jerez, Bautista told that he need to build confidence with the bike. “It was a difficult weekend at Jerez because of the weather and my crash in practice but thankfully we found some confidence for the race and picked up a result that gives us a platform to build on in the next round. We need to build my confidence still further with this bike at a circuit that I don't particularly like even though I have three wins here, one in 125 and two in 250. "
Like the other riders, Bautista also told that this circuit is tricky. He said, "It is a circuit with some hard braking and the grip levels aren't great but I have had luck there in the past so hopefully that will prove to be the case again. It is important for us to get through a whole weekend without problems so that I can build the confidence I need to push the bike as hard as I want to.”
