After a weekend of highs and lows at Aragon Gino Rea is hoping for the opportunity to show his potential in dry conditions this weekend in Japan. The British rider will be focused from the first session on finding a set-up to tackle the harsh braking and acceleration zones of the tricky Motegi circuit.
Gino Rea “Aragon was a weekend of ups and downs and unfortunately it ended on a down. It was nice to be able to show my potential in the wet conditions but we were unable to transfer that form to the dry because we didn't have the set-up to run with the fastest Suters. I had a lot of chatter in the race and I just couldn't keep my pace up. It would be nice if we had some good weather at Motegi to work on the set-up of the bike because that's what we need. I don't know Motegi at all but I have seen footage of past seasons there and tried to use that to study the layout. There is a lot of hard braking and that should be an advantage for us because it means that chatter should be less of an issue."
Fausto Gresini “We have yet to see Gino fulfil the potential he has shown in practice in a race yet and at Aragon we saw again how fast he can be. Now the moment has arrived where he simply has to make use of practice and turn it into the kind of result that he has the potential to achieve.”
