Only two weeks after the Superbike and Superstock 1000 Italian Championship races at the Misano World circuit, Pedercini team moved to Brno for the Superstock 1000 FIM Cup and the Superbike world championship. Team and riders are eager to continue to develop their bikes and to reach more points for championship standings.
Roberto Rolfo: ”Brno, a fantastic track that has always rewarded me with great races but I haven’t always been able to conclude them. You ride through a forest in a really amazing place . A fast track, technical, ups and downs that are exciting and downhill braking where it is difficult to pass because you need to make the bike slide a lot. I would say that the track suits my riding style and where in 2010 I was winning my first Moto2 race when a technical problem stopped me. The same thing happened in 2002 in 250 when a crash prevented me from winning. At Brno in SBK I have always done quite well with 2 fifth places in 2007 but then a tenth and a technical problem in 2008. I hope to improve the potential of our bike so as to be further ahead compared to Aragon and obtain some strong results together with my team!”
Mark Aitchison:”I have been looking forward to Brno since finishing our last race in Aragon. In the time we have had off, our team made a small test in Misano and I believe we have learnt more about our Kawasaki, which should help us make more informed decisions about overall bike setup for future races. This weekend I really want to focus on getting back into my rhythm and then start working to improve our bike in the second part of the race, once the tyres lose their best performance. This point is really where we have had some problems in past races to date, so I hope we can move closer with this. I am motivated to do well at this great track and put my hard work into making two strong races on Sunday".
