A Portuguese Round he described as “strong and solid” has left 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Xavi Vierge looking for contꦓinued progression at tꦯhis weekend’s Dutch WorldSBK.

The Spanish rider, who sits 11th in the riders’ standings despite taking Honda’s first top-five 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike finish of the season in Race 1 at Portimao two weeks ago, says that the circuit in Assen – where Honda was last on the podium in 2022 thanks to Iker Lecuona – is also a circui𒐪t that suits the CBR1000RR-R machine “quite well”.

“I’m really looking forward to be here [a🌳t Assen], coming from Portimao that has been a ♍strong and solid weekend,” said Vierge.

“So, we will try to keep t♏he ball rolling. It’s a track that normally fits quite well for 🎉us, so just try to enjoy the weekend and be as competitive as Portimao.”

While this weekend looks set to be dry throughout at Assen, Vierge thinks the mixed and often wet conditions of 2024 will continue to have an effect at the beginning of this weekend due to a lack of historical data, this in addition to a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:new development SCX r𒆙ear tyre from Pirelli that is introduc♏ed for th✤e first time this weekend.

“[The Dutch Round] will be challenging, especially because last 👍year during this round we had so much rain, so there’s already like two years since we [had much dry running here],” he said.

“So, it will be super-important to make a good base to start the weekend and t♛ry to be as fast as we can from the beginning.

“But, I’m looking forward to starting. Again, Pirel𒁏li brought [a new compound] that we n﷽eed to discover and try to adapt to as soon as possible.”

He added: “I think that one we haven’t tested, but it’s the same ‘family’ a🙈s th♒e SC0 [development tyre] that they brought in Portimao.

“So, happy because it looks like this new compound is helping aဣ little bit for us.”
