HM Plant Honda's Ryuichi Kiyonari will start this weekend's Oulton Park British Superbike round with more aggression as he believes the nature of the Chesire track means he will have to push right from the Friday practice.
The Japanese rider, who has been at home testing for the upcoming Suzuka Eight-Hours, reckons he is more happy with the bike after his performances at Snetterton byet we're still to see the sort of form that has brought him three BSB titles.
"I need to be more aggressive this weekend from the start. At Oulton Park you need a lot of confidence to push hard so we again will work hard from free practice to get it right. I feel happy with the bike and we have made
improvement since the last round at Oulton Park when we won," said Kiyonari.
"A lot of people probably think I am one of the favourites for this weekend because I have had good results there before; I want to win again for our championship, but I think there will be a big fight as everyone wants to win."
