Barcelona always a challenge - Stoner
06 June 2007Casey Stoner is looking forward to the challenge Circuit de Catalunya brings each year to the MotoGP riders. Stoner believes that it will be important to receive the right Bridgestone tyres for this weekend at the Spanish track since it is a demanding track for both rider and its tyres.
Speaking about the upcoming Grand Prix Stoner said: "The Circuit de Catalunya is actually pretty hard work from a rider's perspective, not least because of the asphalt which has been a big influential factor for bike set-up since it was resurfaced a few years ago.
"The circuit layout itself is also challenging with some really interesting sections and some fast corners. It is a very technical circuit, so hopefully it will be a track that could suit the Ducati-Bridgestone package. The first sector is quite straight-forward and most riders and bikes are quite evenly matched through there. The next sector is quite tricky to negotiate but the last two right-handers are probably the most crucial parts of the lap to pick up the rhythm coming back onto the main straight. We have built up a very strong working relationship with Bridgestone in a short space of time and I think the benefits of this close co-operation have been seen in the race results we have achieved together so far this season."
