Marlboro Ducati stand-in rider Mika Kallio reckons it will be tricky to get a good setup for the Indianapolis MotoGP round this weekend as the track surface changes three times.

Kallio, who hasn't raced at the track because last year's 250GP was cancelled due to a hurricane, is reasonable confident, though, as he did take part in all the practice and qualifying sessions.

"Sunday will be my first race at Indy because even though I came here last year the race itself was cancelled because of the weather. Anyway, I can’t say I don’t know the track because we did contest every practice session, including warm-up," said the Funn.

"It’s not exactly my favourite kind of track but it’s okay, other than the surface. There are three different kinds of asphalt and that makes it really tricky to get a set-up. Anyway, we’ll do our best and I’ll like to be competing within the top five or six.”
