MotoGP: Rizla Suzuki cross the Atlantic in hopes of further progress
The team Rizla Suzuki has made a long journey transantlantico the ‘Golden State’ of California, United States, for the dispute of the 10th race of the 2011 season in MotoGP in the circuit Laguna Seca.
Alvaro Bautista is jubilant after his 7 th place in the last race in Sachsenring. Plans to continue the streak of fruitful work that the team had in Germany and close at 6 faster. Baptist wants better luck on his second visit to the American circuit, his first career there ended unhappily, when was hit by another rider on lap three. The Spanish hoped to do much better this time, while still displaying their recent good form.
The Laguna Seca circuit is 160 kms south of the city of San Francisco, near Monterey populations and Seaside. The area was originally a shooting range belonging to the artillery and military maneuvers of the United States, and the circuit stands on a dry lake. His 3.610m contains 11 curves, 4 and 7 right-left, and probably one of the most famous corners of the world: the ‘Corkscrew’ or corkscrew, a sequence of turning left to right with a strong gradient that produces a feeling of fall through the air when the cover drivers at high speed.
Team Rizla Suzuki has 3 free sessions of 45 minutes, between Friday and Saturday morning, more time qualifying on Saturday afternoon. Sunday’s race is the 10th championship, 32 rounds, and is scheduled at 2 pm local time, 11 pm in mainland Spain. Baptist hopes to follow in the footsteps of the pioneers and the hills to find gold in California!
Alvaro Bautista: “I have good memories of last year in Laguna, if we ignore the race. It’s a nice track and very difficult. I have already eager to get there after Sachsenring, for my moment of confidence, because I think we can move forward. The entire team is optimistic, we believe we can get a good result in America. Before coming to Laguna, I’m with Paul Denning to visit friends Troy Lee Designs, I think I prepared a big surprise. I know they are preparing a special design of my helmet Shoei. Then visit Suzuki America, greeted the officers and pilots of the speed and motocross teams. It will be a fun week!
