Fresh from testing at Brno, the Rizla Suzuki riders look ahead to this weekend’s Indianapolis MotoGP.

The frustration and bad luck that Bautista has had this season so far has led him to set himself the goal of simply completing all the sessions without crashing or aggravating any of his existing injuries, by stating “I really need to finish a whole weekend and get a full practice, qualifying and race in my account”.

Loris Capirossi:
“The Brno test was a lot better than the race, but the bike did feel the best it has done all year during the short time I was on-track in the race and we made some improvements on the Monday so these should be good for us when we get to Indy. I finished seventh last year and that was a big improvement on 2008 so I am determined to make another step forward this year. It is very important that we keep focussed and keep trying as hard as we can to get the results to show what we are capable of.”

Álvaro Bautista:
“I’m still a bit stiff from my crash at Brno, but I have rested and let the injury heal properly so I will be ready for Indianapolis. I really need to finish a whole weekend and get a full practice, qualifying and race in my account. It seems a long time since I crossed the finish line and I am positive about visiting America and making that happen. We made some steps at the Brno test, but we still need to work on those at Indianapolis – and the races that follow – to find out what the true potential of the bike is. That is something we are determined to do and to keep on learning as much as possible about all things to do with the GSV-R and how it behaves on different tracks and in varying conditions and also about myself and how I can ride it to get the best from it.”
