June 14 2011 - Team Pedercini -Aragon Preview
The seventh round of the Superbike World Championship and the fourth round of the Superstock 1000 FIM Cup will take place over the weekend of June 17-18-19 at Motorland Aragón circuit. The Ciudad del Motor de Aragón is a 5.344 km race circuit located near Alcañiz, Spain. The circuit has been designed by well-known German architect Hermann Tilke and McLaren test driver Pedro de la Rosa is a technical and sporting consultant on the project. The facility has been designed to incorporate three main zones - a technology park, a sports area and a leisure and culture area. The sports area will include the racing circuit with multipe layouts, a karting track and various gravel circuits. On 19 May 2010, it was announced that the circuit will hold a round of the Superbike World Championship from 2011, with a three-year deal being agreed. The Aragon circuit will be a new experience for all of Team Pedercini’s Superstock and Superbike riders, with the exception of Rolfo who rode at the Spanish track last year with Moto2.
Main circuit characteristics:
Lenght: 5.344 km
Curves: 17
Pole Position: right
Race distance: 20 laps = 106.880 km
Mark Aitchison: "I am very much looking forward to arriving at Aragon and getting started with practice on Friday. After what we hoped would be more promising results in Misano, my team and I can now focus our energy to making it happen in Spain. Aragon will be a new circuit for me and our team, so I am hoping we can find a good setting for the bike during the first practices and then work forward from this point as we have done in Misano. In this moment I am feeling confident on the bike, I am learning more and more every time I race the bike, so in Aragon I really want to fight for championship points".
Roberto Rolfo: "I rode at Motorland Aragon last year with Moto2. In practice I was riding very well but then in the race I had some technical problems. I really like the track as it’s fun to ride, with long corners and undulations, but it is also very safe. After two difficult races at Misano, I hope to take a good result at Aragon to boost my morale and that of the team. I will be trying my best that’s for sure and if we can adapt our Ninja to the tricky Spanish track I am sure we can do well".
