The Monster Yamaha Tech3 team head to Spain this week for the 14th round of the 2014 MotoGP World Championship at the impressive MotorLand Aragon circuit as both riders aim to clinch successful results before heading east for the three fly away races.
The modern and well equipped 5078 meter anti clockwise track is located in the heart of Spain, close to Alcaniz which formerly hosted street racing events in the past. The MotorLand Aragon circuit first held it̥s MotoGP race in 2010, 12 months after construction and won the IRTA Best Grand Prix of the Year award that season due to the meticulous construction and brilliant facilities.
The high-speed track features 17 corners, with 10 left and 7 right plus a straight of 968 meters and tests the riders to their limits as well as always ensuring a fantastic racing spectacle in front of the passionate Spanish crowd.
Pol Espargaro returns to home soil once more with intent to fly high by battling for the leading satellite MotoGP bike title and continue his impressive showing in his first season in the premier class.
"It's always great racing in my home country so this weekend will be one to remember for sure." Espargaro stated. "I really enjoy the style and the corners of this track, which are just simply superb as well as being great fun to ride.
"I am very keen to get going especially as I have won twice here in the lower leagues so I am confident of a strong result this weekend aboard the Yamaha which I am feeling very positive with.
"The past few races have been productive but there's still work to be done, as I'm still a bit off the leading factory riders. I am determined to get a good result before we head outside of Europe for the next three races and so I will try nothing but my best here this weekend.
"Realistically I think we can at least be battling for the leading satellite bike once again and I can't wait to experience the track and especially the last corner on a MotoGP bike!"
