Elias confident for China

Elias confident for China

26 April 2007

Podium place winner Toni Elias is looking forward to continue the MotoGP 2007 world championship. With a stunning second place in Turkey the Spaniard hopes to continue his strong performance in the fourth round in Shanghai.

Toni Elias said looking ahead of the Chinese Grand Prix: "I like Shanghai a lot and I'm happy to go there after such a great race in Istanbul. I have to thank my team for the work they have done on the set-up and Bridgestone, who have come up with a tyre, which is perfect for my riding style. This has raised my confidence in my potential and allowed me to progress.

"The job still isn't finished though and we still have margin for improvement. I'm pleased to see that my riding style, which many people said would be too aggressive for the new 800cc bike, can be effective and allow me to challenge for victories. The Shanghai straight is the longest on the calendar (1202 metres) and that doesn't suit our bike but I hope we can make up for this with a good set-up in the cycle part."

The Chinese Grand Prix will take place on the sixth of May at the Shanghai International race circuit.
