Furthermore, they have already gained some experience there and are strong in their manoeuvring techniques. So, I know that it is going to be a highly-competitive stride.” “Racing in Zhuhai will be my first time so I do not have any on-ground experience but I am studying the track by looking at previous race videos and the performances of the other riders to get an understanding of what the possibilities will be like. I have a feeling that the circuit would be high-speed one and tyre-management would be the toughest part. The RR310 is a very smooth machine and a reliable one. There is good power delivery and the grip is pretty amazing therefore, the machine would not be a problem. I am quite comfortable on it. There is definitely a lot of work to be done but my goal is to fight a good fight to win it.” Connect with Us! Latest news at asiaroadracing.com
