The 2017 MotoAmerica Superstock 600 Champions Jason Aguilar, who will be riding at the Circuit for the first spoke exclusively to Guyana Times Sport on Friday and expressed his delight at the conditions.
“So far everything is going well, I like the track, it is different from what I usually ride on but it is fun so it’s really nice to be here.”
The 21 year who began professional racing since the age of 11 added, “the races are very short and on a track like you cannot make any mistakes unless you will be at the back in time.”
Likewise, 2016 champion Bryce Prince, who has already dethroned Matthew Vieira for the 2016 CMRC Super stock due to his unbeaten run in the previous three legs is planning on creating more history becoming the first rider to win the title unbeaten.
“It has been a really good experience, we have gone 12 for 12 wins and nice to come back to Guyana and really excited to give the fans a good show with his new bike and set some new times,” Prince posited.
“We want to win races and try to break the track set record set last year, I am going to give it my all and we will see what happens.”
In addition, British Superbike Rider Matt Truelove is also happy to grace these shores again after setting a new track record of 33.3 seconds last year.
“It is great to be back and seeing everyone again. I am working hard to get back to the times I had before and even better them. I hope I can lower the times since I feel like a better rider.”
“It’s more competition and I’m excited and rearing to go but I don’t think anyone but these two [Prince and Aguilar] will be in the mix but hopefully I can keep up with them.”
At practice on Friday, all three riders were clocking impressive times, close and some even below the track record. Come Sunday, the trio expressed their desire to ring the throttle to the max and wow the fans in record breaking times with the Yamaha R6 machines. (Akeem Greene)
