Terol not thinking about championship on way to British GP

The MotoGP World Championship picks up pace this month with three races in three weekends, a period that could define the serious contenders for 125cc title honours. The triple-header kicks off with the British Grand Prix this weekend, followed by races at Assen and Catalunya, with the Silverstone circuit returning to the calendar after a 23-year absence. The circuit is safer and more modern but retains its most enduring feature: its speed. The 125cc riders will have to get the very best out of their machinery as they look to tackle the longest – and possibly the fastest – track they will visit this year.

Bancaja Aspar rider Nico Terol takes his 125cc series lead to British shores with his focus set on maintaining his 100% podium record so far this season. The Spaniard knows that four podiums in a row could count for very little if he doesn’t keep his form going over the next three weeks. His team-mate Bradley Smith, who ended the 2009 season with a run of six podiums, has yet to taste the champagne this season and knows there is no better place to do it than at a circuit located just a few miles from his hometown of Oxford.

Nico Terol: “As I keep saying I feel like I’m in really good shape this year so I can’t wait to get to Silverstone. It is a new track for everybody so this week I’ve been playing the F1 game on the Playstation just to get to know it a little. I think they have changed a couple of corners but a lot of the old circuit remains. It is a fast track with a lot of corners linked together, so I’m sure I’ll enjoy riding it. I always look forward to the faster tracks and I hope I can keep my form going there on Sunday. We had a great race in the end at Mugello so I hope to repeat that result at least, or even fight for the win. I am only thinking about winning at the moment and I can’t wait for my next chance this Sunday.”
