The Suzuki Team

Since when they came back last year was already clear they weren't joking. The Suzuki Team is investing a lot in this idea with people like the team manager Davide Brivio, ex Yamaha Team Manager, which has a lot of experience and well known in the field. Let's take a look to the fantastic riders they got:

Aleix Espargaro is finally in a factory team after showing his potential in CRT category. He has been the best of the category for 3 years in row (2012-2013-2014).

Last year got a pole in Valencia with this team after 8 years of fasting and other important results. Unfortunately this year he's having problem due to the new Michelin tires, too unpredictable and difficult to understand. But he has the talent and I'm sure he will do it.

Maverick Vinales, the most auspicious of the young riders in the category with already 16 victories, 41 podiums and 92 races disputed at only 21. He has still a lot to improve starting from a very good point.

This year he's getting unexpected good results, having battles in firsts positions with other factory team and going better than his competitive teammate. It's the opposite of last year. Then he feels really good these tires.

The frame is the best of the category: it gives agility and handling that other factory teams dream. Initially the engine had low performances at high RPM, but they must have changed something (probably in the electronic) in the last GP, because Vinales lost nothing in the straights.

My suspect is that the power increasing gave traction issues, indeed the team brought a brand new frame after race on Monday tests, to improve the grip on the rear tyre, already  fixed and approved for Assen GP then.

Let's get ready, it's coming...
