Gino Rea's update from Misano today
18-06-2009
Gino starts the Misano WSBK Superstock 600 Championship round tomorrow (Friday) and has been preparing in Italy this week following the Assen Dutch Superbike round last weekend. In Gino's words:
"Things have been going well this week. I have had some good time to bond with the team and it really feels like we all know each other better, which was missing a bit due to having only races together. We all went to the water park and have been in and out the pool everyday. I managed to get some good training in, cycling on the Italian roads. Also, as you may know, Barry Veneman is now riding a Ten Kate supersport bike, but he is set up in our STK team awning. He has the bikes that Pitt and Sofuoglu rode at the start of this season but the bike is in the same colours as mine, as he has no backing from Hannspree. It's pretty cool having him here, he seems like a nice guy. Practice tomorrow at 5.30pm, can't wait!"
