It's time to return to Spain for the sixth round of the 2013 season, which will see the riders of the MotoGP World Championship enjoy a busy Sunday, June 16th on the Catalan circuit of Montmelo.
Following Mugello, the JiR Team stayed at the Tuscan circuit for a day of testing, during which they analysed the problems that have emerged so they began the search for new technical solutions even in adverse weather conditions. The primary objective of the Team is to give the rider a better feeling on the bike to find the performance and consistency of performance during the race weekend.
Gianluca Montiron – JiR Team Principal
“The race at Catalunya is important to give a twist to the season. The goal for the weekend is to start from the very beginning with determination without getting lost with minor changes and focus to prepare for the race. Mike has to be good at finding a better adaptation to the bike and be much more effective during the race. This year's Moto2 lap times show that there isn’t a single rider that can make a difference among all the others, therefore our rider needs to do a step up as we had a glimpse of at Le Mans.”
Mike Di Meglio – JiR Team Rider
"The weekend in Mugello has not been very positive for us, we struggled to find the competitiveness that we expected. The following Monday, we stopped for a day of tests that allowed us to better investigate the problems encountered and possible solutions draw. We need to find a good base set-up that allows us to deal with every weekend, from which to make adjustments and finalization that adapt to any track or weather conditions. We have made progress in this direction, we will try to find in Barcelona confirmations of the work done and I hope that we can be more competitive, both in practice sessions for the starting grid and in the race to progress and get closer to the fastest.”
