#SanMarinoGP: NEXT DESTINATION - ITALY’S HOLIDAY REGION AT THE ADRIATIC COASTLINE

NEXT DESTINATION - ITALY’S HOLIDAY REGION AT THE ADRIATIC COASTLINE

At this weekend’s round 13 of the championship in Misano, Dominique Aegerter meets two opposites: holiday atmosphere and racing fever.

Though, the Gran Premio di San Marino has been included to the championship’s calendar in 2007, the event not far from Rimini enjoys great popularity from the very first moment. Since then, the somewhat old-fashioned Misano circuit has been updated year by year to meets the highest safety standards meanwhile. But the tight and twisty layout has been preserved.

In contrast to the last race in Silverstone two weeks ago, the cards are mixed within the German team this time. Because of the close location to Switzerland, Dominique Aegerter likes to name Grand Prix at the Misano World Circuit as one of his home races and therefore, he expects great support from numerous fans from his home country.

Starting time for the Moto2™ race is scheduled as usual for 12:20 pm this Sunday.

#77 Dominique AEGERTER (Kiefer Racing, Suter MMX2), Championship position 9th (63 points):

"Overall, I must say that I have nice memories of Misano. Apart from last year, of course, when I was not able to ride here due to my shoulder injury. I like Misano very much – in my opinion it’s such a cool track. Beyond that, the atmosphere is fantastic every year as well as many fans, sponsors and supporters from Switzerland are coming. This fact sweetened even more. I’m already looking forward to Friday, when action starts here in Italy again."

"During the break after Silverstone, my team worked hard to bring our package forward. So, I’m already excited to the effects and hopefully we will be able to turn our strong performance during practices into a top result in the race finally. Despite of this, I was very busy last week too. In addition to a start in a motocross event, I also gained experience as a stunt rider which provided lots of fun. But now, I’m fully focussed again on my tasks in Moto2."
