Superbike Spain: Sykes “The numbers are on my side”

The Kawasaki Racing Team is ready to return in full force for the final round of the 2013 championship which it could with great merit crown with its first championship Tom Sykes.

“Jerez is a fantastic circuit and one that I know from having tested there this winter – stated the Englishman – The hope is to do the best possible. The competition will be fierce, but I am calm because I know that we have made several important changes to the bike. In 2012 at this point I was 30,5 points behind the leader, while now I am 37 points ahead. So the numbers seem to prove me right. Beyond that, the goal is to have fun as usual and if things go well I'll do it even more."

Even if not at the top, he will still be in good shape Loris Baz, returning after the Nürburgring accident. “The recovery is progressing well, so now I just have to get the OK from the circuit doctor – the Frenchman's words – I would really like to finish the season with a good result, but I will have to wait for Friday's free practice to understand what I can really do. My target is to regain the sixth place in the standings lost at Magny-Cours."
