Alvaro Bautista heads for Brno hoping to fix grip issues

After the return to action from mid-season break at Indianapolis, the Team GO&FUN Honda Gresini heads straight back to Europe this week to prepare for the round 11 of the 2014 campaign, the Grand Prix České Republiky, at the sweeping Brno track.

Alvaro Bautista will try to forget the disappointment of Indianapolis, where he was involved in a crash after just four corners from the start: the Spaniard, fifth last year at Brno after a thrilling battle with Valentino Rossi, will try first of all to find a solution to the rear grip issues on his Honda RC213V with the help of his team and Showa technicians, and thus regain the confidence which early in the season had led him to be among the fastest riders.

ALVARO BAUTISTA
“We want to forget as soon as possible the Indianapolis weekend, in order to get to Brno motivated and full of charge. We will find a very different track from the one we faced in the last Grand Prix, wide and characterized by really fast changes of direction; last year we were competitive, so we expect to be able to find a good feeling with the bike also this year, although at the moment we are struggling. Of course, we will give our best, as always, and especially it will be important to work well with the team and with Showa technicians to try to fix the rear grip issues that made ​​us struggle in the last few races”.
