Elías hoping to retain strong pace at Indy

Honda Gresini rider Toni Elías is looking forward to this weekend's encounter at Indianapolis. The Spaniard drove a stunning race at Brno just two weeends ago now and hopes to be just as competitive for the upcoming US Grand Prix.

"I said before the last race that Brno and Indianapolis would be good circuits for us and I have been proven right so far, so hopefully I'm right again!" the Spaniard said. "The podium in the Czech Republic was a fantastic achievement for us but it has been frustrating for me that we haven't been able to show our potential before now.

"We want to break that top four up on a more regular basis, and we know we are capable of it, so that is the target from now to the end of the season.

"We have shown our speed, now we have to add consistency to the mix, but if we can make a good start on Friday then there is no reason why we can't close the gap even more. I love racing in America and Indianapolis is such a legendary motorsport venue - however, all that will mean nothing to me if we don't get a result."
