Speedy start for Álvaro Bautista at British Grand Prix

 In MotoGP, News

_FER3110_640x480Continuing a purple patch of form for Alvaro Bautista, the Spaniard was fourth quickest today at Silverstone in practice and hopes to build on this over the weekend. The Team GO & FUN Honda Gresini rider had been hoping for a better final position on the timesheets, but has been working with his team, Showa and Nissin to resolve a rear grip issue and expects to be quicker on Saturday.

Alvaro Bautista (4th 2’03”463) “We did a very good job today and I am fairly satisfied. This morning we started well, despite some rear grip issues, and in the afternoon we tried two solutions in order to perform better. However, we didn’t find anything to give significant improvement. Now we have the data to look over, and we believe that we could have found the right solution in order to exit the corners more quickly –avoiding the bike sliding or stopping due to the traction control kicking in. We are convinced that tomorrow we can realise all the potential that this bike has.”

Fausto Gresini “Alvaro’s positive momentum continues. Last year he took pole position here and finished fourth in the race. Today he went well and proved that we are going well, that he is more competitive and that the bike’s performance is better. I am very happy with the work carried out by the team, Showa and Nissin. The progression made over the past four races is obvious.”
