The fourteenth round of the Moto2 Championship will take place at the modernistic MotorLand Aragon

2014-09-22 08:20
Designed by German architect Hermann Tilke, the circuit first began hosting MotoGP in 2010.
Set in stunning surroundings near to the town of Alcaniz, the track consists of ten left corners and seven right corners, with the longest straight measuring 0.601 miles.

#5 Johann Zarco: “We had a test at Aragon earlier this year, like many of the other riders also, so I think that the lap times will be very fast and very close. For sure it is not going to be easy but I think it can be a good track for the Caterham Suter. We have to take this chance, keep calm and start the weekend as well as possible, work hard, trust in this work and see what happens on Sunday. It is a nice track, a fast track and we have reference, so we will see.”

#14 Ratthapark Wilairot: “The track at Aragon I know as I have raced there already this year in Supersport, which was ok, but it is a completely different bike.

“The week before Misano was my first time riding in nearly two months, following the summer break in Supersport, so it was not so easy coming back and getting on the Moto2 bike. My result in Italy was not good and I know I can do better; I think I just needed this time to adjust to riding the Caterham Suter again. We have a better reference to work from now, so we can use this for Aragon. I need to change a number of things for this next race, but I know what I must work on and I am feeling positive.”

Johan Stigefelt – Team Manager: “The Circuit at MotorLand Aragon is great to ride. It is a long lap with many corner variations and elevation changes. It also has a long back straight with a very fast final corner. I have ridden there many times myself and I love the layout. However it has some tricky parts which require that the bike set up is right, otherwise it is very hard work.

“We tested at Aragon in May, so I think that we could have a good set up with Johann for this Grand Prix. The weather condition will be quite different though, so it could mean that we have to adapt it. For Ratthapark it will be his first time with us at this track, but he is determined to prove himself after Misano, so I know he will work hard.

“We are focussed and we know what we have to do, so let’s see what happens, but I think our Caterham Suter will do well.”
