McWilliams ready for first race despite leg issues
07 March 2007Ilmor GP rider Jeremy McWilliams is ready to get back into action this weekend for the opening race at the Losail International Circuit in Qatar. After suffering from career-threatening injuries after a heavy crash in November McWilliams is ready to begin his MotoGP season.
Following a productive test in Jerez at the end of February, Ilmor GP, MotoGP's newest and only British team head out to Qatar this week full of what can only be described as nervous anticipation as the Losail International Circuit plays host to the first round of the MotoGP World Championship 2007.
"I can't wait for the first race - it will be great once the lights go green - there's so much anticipation and nerves before the first race of any season so it'll be good to get it out of the way!" said an excited McWilliams. "My only slight worry is that due to my accident in Jerez last November I haven't had as much time on the bike as I would have liked. Physically I feel good, my leg is still a little weak but my upper body is really strong and once I'm on the bike I forget about my leg."
"Losail is a great circuit to ride, it's really technical and quite complicated to ride well so I'm looking forward to the challenge. Let's see what we can do."
