The Suzuki factory is doing better, thanks for it. With the current slump Yamaha , it is ready to assert itself as the third force in the MotoGP field, behind the Ducati and other Hondas who share the successes this year. A hegemony that the men on the GSX-RR would like to break this season. Davide Brivio almost doesn't hide it.
Everything is going so well at Suzuki that the factory no longer needs regulatory concessions to demonstrate its expertise. The results keep coming and the latest one in Aragon has opened up perspectives while sharpening ambitions: “ apart from the podium, it was important that our two drivers did not give up on the top. We were able to keep the pace until the last lap. It was a great performance “, said the team director, Davide Brivio.
In Aragon, Andrea Iannone missed out on victory by just 1,3 seconds in third, whileAlex Rins finished fourth, just 2,6 seconds behind the winner. With the podiums already taken this year in Austin, Jerez and Argentina, all that is missing is a victory for Suzuki… “ We are confident for the rest of the season. There are tracks that will suit the GSX-RR very well »Warns Brivio . “I think of Phillip Island or Motegi, where it was not so bad for us in the rain in 2017. Also in Sepang we showed a good performance in the past. In any case, we are moving on these routes to continue the positive trend and want to fight at the top.”
And for Buriram, this week-end ? “ Last winter we had a very good test, especially with Alex. We will therefore try to confirm our good pace. Our job is to use every possible opportunity to get on the podium. This is our goal and we hope for a few podiums before the end of the season! ».
