We are back after a rather long break from racing action for Round 2 and 3 of the UAE Sportbike Championship this weekend.
Round 2 was postponed last month due to a clash with the Qatar Championship so we’ll be racing on Friday and Saturday this time around.
It’s been a case of getting back to the grind recently and I’m feeling well prepared for these rounds as I have managed to practice out on the track a few times. My pace was decent but we believe that the settings of the bike should be slightly altered as the track that we will race this weekend is the GP track at Dubai Autodrome – the longest track.
I tried a few changes on the bike with the team, because recently it felt as though it had lost some grit compared with the start of the season. It is not a big deal as it can happen with changes in the weather and we have also putting a lot of mileage on the bike.
