Xaus expecting weather to play a part
Ruben Xaus believes that the weather will play a part in proceedings in this weekend’s European WSB round at Donington but admitted that he is happy to see the circuit back on the calendar.
Whilst good weather is forecast for the East Midlands this weekend, Xaus believes that the unpredictable nature of the British spring could be a major factor in proceedings throughout the weekend.
But the Castrol Honda rider is nevertheless pleased to get back onto the grid after a one-month break since the season opener in Australia.
“I have two feelings about Donington,” said the Spaniard. “The first one is that I am hungry to go racing again because a month is too long between the first race and the second feeling is that now the sun is shining in Spain but in England it will be cold for our sport, and there is no guarantee what it will be like.
“I like the circuit there, it is very historic and I have some good memories. It is quite a technical track also. As soon as we are there and racing we will put a lot of rubber on the track surface and the conditions may be better than we expect. I just need more track time on the bike right now.”
