Team Guandalini Racing newsletter

First race on Italy for the World Superbike Championship that comes on the fast track of Monza. The Brianza’s track has always offered a unique spectacle to all the fans of two wheels with its long straights interspersed with challenging chicane to slow down. Monza is the third permanent facility built in the world in which the superbike reach 200 km/h average on lap. The track is 5793 meters long placed inside a wonderful historic nature park which covers an area of almost 700 hectares.

After the excellent results obtained in the Dutch land, Team Guandalini will do everything not to disappoint the many fans who will come to Monza to follow the races and all the sponsors and technical partners thanks to their fruitful collaboration allows the team from Bologna to take part in World Championship of derivatives of the series.
According to the third place achieved by Jakub Smrz in the second race at Assen and the thirteenth place of Brendan Roberts that allowed him to take the first points, the team expects good performances from both drivers will have to confirm that everything good has been able to get on the Dutch track

Jakub Smrz
“In Assen I finally achieved my target and now we have to keep working hard. We showed we have big potential and that's possible to stay in the front. I am really happy to make such a good result in race and complete weekend me and my team made great job. I like Monza track and I was pretty fast there last year. I would like to score another important points there even many people think it should be normal to on podium from now. I just want to do my best and get many points as possibble. I already had many races without points and I am still 10th in the championship what means we have really good chance to be on top!!!”

Brendan Roberts
“Assen was a weekend that didn't come as easily as I would have hoped for. Finding a setting that I was comfortable with was challenging, but in the final minutes of free practice before superpole I found confidence with the bike. During superpole I didn't use my qualifying tyre to its potential which was vital for the start, and to make matters worse in race one the bike didn't launch well when the lights went out so I went backwards very fast. The end to the race was more positive finishing 16th, and I felt strong when the tyres became worn with out risking pushing to the limit. Race two I made a more positive start but I couldn't find a good rhythm as I chased Tommy Hill, I found it hard to pass him as he was so deep on the brakes. I crossed the line in 13th position which is a step forward and I hope to keep progressing.Coming into Monza I cant say I'm over confident as I have never really clicked with the circuit, but my determination is high and ill be giving everything I have to do well.”
