Superbike: Terol and Baiocco want to do well in Portimao

Donington Park was certainly not a round to remember for Team Althea Ducati, which seeks redemption this weekend at the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve in Portimao, scene of the seventh round of the eni FIM Superbike World Championship.

For Nico Terol, almost back to full fitness after breaking his wrist in Assen and the disastrous highside at Donington Park in race 2, the objective is to do well on a track that he was only able to try this winter during testing, but which the Alcoy driver already likes.
Baiocco has already raced in Portimao on three occasions (2009, 2010 and 2012), with the best result a tenth place in his first race in the Algarve.

“I arrive in Portimao with a great desire to be at 100%. The injury is almost completely recovered and I will just have to think about doing my best” – he said Nico Terol – “I know that I can be very strong and fast, and I also know that having ridden little, it will be very important to work well starting on Friday to be able to arrive on Sunday in optimal conditions to have two good races”.

“The Donington weekend saw us improving compared to previous races, and I would like to continue in this positive way at Portimao too” – he said Matthew Baiocco – “The circuit is certainly very demanding and difficult, but with my bike it will be fun. I can't wait to get on my Ducati."
