Rizla Suzuki's Loris Capirossi reckons that data gleaned from the Brno one-day test a week ago uncovered some setting changes that should help he and team-mate Chris Vermeulen for the rest of the 2009 MotoGP season.
The diminutive Italian missed out on a podium in the Czech Republic by less than a second and should announce he will remain with the Rizla Suzuki squad this weekend, alongside rookie Alvaro Bautista
"We had an encouraging performance at Brno and also discovered a few things during the test on the Monday that will improve things for the rest of the season. I am going to America in a very positive frame of mind and determined to fight for everything we can for the rest of the year," said Capirossi.
"Last year at Indianapolis was the worst conditions I have ever raced in and I hope we don't have that to contend with again. I didn't really get on the pace there last year and I was very disappointed about that and will be looking to put that right this year."
