The Repsol Honda Team travels to Motorland Aragón this
weekend in preparation for the fourteenth round of the season and the third
visit of the 2012 MotoGP World Championship to Spain.
Motorland Aragón welcomes the MotoGP family for the third
consecutive year and has been a successful venue for the Repsol Honda Team in
the past, with both Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa topping the podium in 2010
and 2011, two victories for the Australian rider and two second-places for the
Spaniard.
Dani Pedrosa, who will celebrate his 27th birthday on
Saturday, arrives confident and ready to put the issues he had Misano behind
him - the first race this season without points due to an incident on the first
lap. Pedrosa, currently second in the standings 38 points off Jorge Lorenzo, is
in great form and the results of the test held at Aragón at the beginning of
this month will give him high motivation.
Aragón will be the second race for Jonathan Rea as
substitute rider for Casey Stoner, who continues his rehabilitation in
Australia. Fresh from Portimão, with a 6th and a 2nd place in the two races of
the World Superbike Championship, the British rider is looking to make another
step forward on the RC213V at a circuit where he also tested with the Repsol
Honda Team.
"Aragón is a very good race and the circuit is
impressive. We went there with the team for a two-day test at the beginning of
this month and we did a good job. Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing the
Spanish crowd again, it would be great to see the circuit full of people like
we had in the previous years. The bike is working well and I'm feeling good; we
go there with the same determination as always and motivated to continue riding
well and have another good race."
