Casey won at Silverstone last year in wet conditions. This weekend, Stoner need to get best point to keep the championship position. Stoner now is 20 points behind Lorenzo. If Stoner do not win the race this weekend, the gap will be increase.
Stoner said, "I'm definitely looking forward to going to Silverstone, it's a track that I really do enjoy. I wish that we still went through the old part of the track, unfortunately we don't go through there now and the new section is very, very tight. The rest of the track is fantastic though, it's fast and makes the heart beat very quick!"
He continue, "The Monday test in Catalunya was a positive step for us, but we're still far from perfect. We definitely made some progress with reducing the chatter but we will have to wait until we get on track on Friday to see if what we found also works at Silverstone. Again, we'll be hoping for dry weather so we can maximize every minute of track time to prepare for Sunday's race."
