Tom Sykes and Loris Baz head to Donington Park for Tom‰Ûªs home round this weekend filled with the expectation of strong results at a venue that should offer good opportunities to both KRT riders.
Sykes was impressed by how well his Ninja ZX-10R performed at the ultra high-speed circuit of Monza last time out and at Donington, a track which he believes is even more suited to his machine‰Ûªs wide ranging performance package, Sykes has every reason to be confident approaching his local event.
‰ÛÏI am really looking forward to Donington." Sykes enthused. "Monza for me was one of the hardest circuits we should have gone to, even though we won there last year, but we got on the podium twice.
"Donington is a flowing, twisting circuit so I am looking forward to riding my Ninja ZX-10R there. There are no real straights so it should be really good.
It has always been a favourite of mine and I am very excited to go there with a fast and consistent package on the bike. I have led races at Donington in the past and we have been able to make good laps even at the end of races this year at a variety of different tracks, so I am really looking forward to Donington because it should be a nice one for me and the bike," he added.
