Alvaro Bautista will race at Silverstone circuit this year with a different bike than 2011 season. Last year with Suzuki, Bautista finish fifth. This weekend after the positive test result at Catalunya and Aragon, Bautista has improved his feeling about the RC213V, and ready for positive result at Silverstone.
Bautista said, "Catalunya was a good race for us but it was a difficult one because of where we started from on the grid. I managed to pass some of the guys in front of us and set the same pace as the podium finishers but we lost too much ground at the start and you can't afford to do that in this championship. It was a positive Grand Prix though because we proved that if we can qualify and start better then we have the pace to run at the front."
He continue, "Now we take that confidence to Silverstone, especially after such a good test. My feeling with the bike has improved a lot and I am able to tackle the corners with much more conviction. This is a nice, long, fast and wide track and I really like it. Obviously everything will depend on the weather, which tends to be cold and wet in England. Anyway, I'm hoping to have a good race on a very different bike to the one I rode here last year. I am sure I can have fun on the Honda RC213V here and enjoy another positive weekend."
Fausto Gresini added, "The Grand Prix of Catalunya was a pleasing one for us, with Alvaro having without doubt his best race since joining the team and finishing close behind the guys at the front. We have had two important days of testing since then in Catalunya and Aragon which were particularly satisfactory. Now we go to Silverstone in good spirits and confident we can do well."
