We're racing in Austin after a two-week break. We were very disappointed to be forced to cancel the private Portimao test due to heavy rain. But there was no point in putting our riders in harm's way in those treacherous conditions. However, this does mean we need to make up for lost track time. COTA is not the easiest track, but we are optimistic about this round. Our riders like this circuit and have scored well here in the past, and the team always enjoys the atmosphere at this race weekend too. With Fabio having announced his staying on, the mood in the team is positive. We're all motivated to work, so we look forward to starting the Austin rodeo.
