Monza WSBK: Camier to use first session as test time

Fixi Suzuki's Leon Camier will use tomorrow's opening World Superbike free practice at Monza a test session in order to evaluate setup ideas he wasn't able to try at Assen due to lack of dry track time.

The Andorran resident hasn't had the best of starts to his 2012 season but aims to remedy that at the high-speed Italian circuit this weekend by getting all the hard work done by the end of Friday.

“Monza is going to be a tough one for sure. The track is all about speed, but you also have to understand the corners as well. It’s a place where slipstreaming is very important and it is possible to be fourth going into Ascari and still win the race. For that you need to be in front going into the Parabolica because the finish line is much nearer to the last corner than it used to be. Last year I was faster than my team mate in the second race, but a crash ruined everything," said Camier.

“Because of the changing weather conditions in the last round, we didn’t get a chance to try as many things as we would’ve liked, so we’ll use the first practice as a kind of test session. I am looking forward to Monza and would like three days of dry weather so we can get all our work done at the beginning. If we do that, I feel positive we can come away with good results.”
