Terol looking for back to back wins going to the USA

The 125cc World Championship contenders make their second intercontinental trip of the season this weekend with a journey across the Atlantic to the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The battle for the title remains wide open after a dramatic round in the Czech Republic that saw series leader Marc Marquez injured and Bancaja Aspar Nico Terol break the youngster’s winning streak. It is sure to be another tense affair this Sunday, with last year’s thrilling five-man battle over the final lap still fresh in the mind.

Terol came back from his own injury in better shape than ever to take a dominant victory and close the gap to Marquez to just 23 points, with 200 still up for grabs before the end of the season. The Spaniard now heads to the scene of his debut victory back in 2008 looking to move even closer to his compatriot in the rider standings and atone for a last-lap mistake that almost certainly cost him the win here last year. His team-mate Bradley Smith was one of the five riders involved in that epic battle last year, the British rider eventually taking second place. Smith dominated the weekend at Brno up until a weather-hit race and he is determined to bounce back with a podium this weekend.

Nico Terol: “After coming through the injury and then enjoying a weekend like Brno I am feeling very confident. I felt comfortable all weekend in practice and in the race and the victory has given me a lot of strength to want to continue in the same way. Now we go to Indianapolis, where I took my first ever win, so that is an extra boost. I am physically and mentally prepared and I’m sure we can have another excellent weekend. I like the track and I know how to go fast there so my main objective is to be fighting for the win. I know it doesn’t all depend on me but I’ll do my job to the best of my ability and it would be wonderful if we could put back to back wins together.”
