Stoner not a fan of Assen changes
26 June 2007Casey Stoner has said he is not happy with the way the Assen circuit made changes to its circuit layout. Last year the track made some changes to its track in order to reduce the speed on some parts of the track. It left Stoner not amused.
Speaking about the upcoming Dutch Grand Prix Stoner said: "I'm sure there's going to be some great races at Assen this year, but the new circuit is disappointing because the old layout was unbelievable, really good fun to ride. They even ruined what was probably my favourite corner in the world [De Bult], it was a great banked left-hander and now they've flattened it out and destroyed it. Anyway, we were quite competitive there last year. I think I came from 14th or 15th at the first corner to fight for the top three and I got fourth, so it was a really good race for us.
"I think this year we can go there with slightly higher expectations. The new Assen is really confusing for set-up, it's got flat corners, banked corners, long corners and tight little dinky corners, so it's really hard to find out what you need though you can pretty much go with any bike and it'll work. You have to find the right tyres that will last the race with the right amount of grip."
