Gino Rea heads for the third round of the Moto2 World Championship at this weekend Estoril having boosted his confidence with a first point of the season last Sunday at Jerez. The British rider made small but important steps forward with the set-up of his Moriwaki in Spain and is now hoping to make significantly more progress in Portugal.
Gino Rea “It's another new track for me to learn so I'll be playing the Playstation as much as possible over the next couple of days! In Jerez we made some progress with the new bike so I'm looking forward to trying it out at a different circuit. It will be another difficult weekend to try and learn the track layout whilst also working on improving the machine but this is the challenge we have signed up for and we are highly determined and motivated to do the job well. I have a great team around me, they are working well and hopefully we can leave Portugal with another solid race behind us like we did at Jerez.”
Fausto Gresini “We took a small step forward at Jerez but it's pretty clear all the Moriwaki riders are struggling at the moment and we have higher hopes than this. Estoril is around the corner and we don't have much time to prepare but we'll be working hard anyway to give Gino the best possible feeling with his bike and try to be more competitive than Jerez.”
