World Supersport – Graeme Gowland Round 5 – Monza – Day 2
The World Supersport Championship contesting Benjan Racing team headed to Italy for the fifth round of the series at the fast Monza circuit.
With the final qualifying session finished Vesa Kallio will line up on the 18th grid slot whilst team mate Graeme Gowland, on his debut at the circuit, will start from 27th position for tomorrows 16 lap race.
Gowland:
I have never ridden on a circuit like this before. It is a really fast circuit and you need to slipstream in order to get a good lap time. I am struggling to get my bike to exit the corners quick enough which means I lose time on the rider ahead and therefore don’t get the slipstream. I am disappointed with my qualifying position but I did the majority of the laps on my own so I know I can definitely run these lap times in the race tomorrow.
Kallio:
This weekend has gone better than Assen as we have a new Hyperpro shock on the rear suspension which is working a lot better for me. Obviously I would have liked to be higher on the grid but it is possible to get into the points from 18th.
