The MotoGP PR machine is starting to crank up for the Polini Grand Prix of Japan at the Motegi circuit.
Here’s what some of the riders have to say:Rizla Suzuki – Loris Capirossi: “After what happened in Qatar, we now go to a track that I know well and have had lots of good times at I was very disappointed at Losail but that race has gone now and we have had time to see what happened.
I hope I can have a very good result in Japan for the Suzuki guys that have put in all the hard work in the winter to give us a bike that we can now be competitive on.
I have won here before and want to do it again, so I will be making sure we get everything right for race-day to give us the best possible chance of achieving that!” Rizla Suzuki – Chris Vermeulen: “It is really important to get back on the bike as soon as possible and try to rectify the issues we had in the race at Qatar.
The bike was working well all weekend, but it seemed to feel very different in the race.
The Factory has been working hard since then and there will be a lot of extra staff at the race in Motegi so we won’t be short of a helping hand! I really want to give Suzuki a good result at its home Grand Prix and I am sure that we will this year.
I am looking forward to going there as I really enjoy racing in Japan and will be doing my best to get the bike on the podium!”
