Silverstone Moto2 Shakedown

Just arrived at Silverstone and we got the weather which is the first thing you think about, picking up a new Moto2 bike, an FTR which they’ve just built for me.

So just getting ready to roll out and give it a test ride, we’re at the new pit complex called the wing, got new leathers and peeling myself into them for the first time and it should be good fun.

And you know what, I’m slightly apprehensive as it’s a new bike; if I was going out on the bike that I’m used to, my GSXR, it’d be business as normal. But a new bike, not quite setup yet so some setup to do, I think Cal Crutchlow’s here, John Hopkins is going to be here riding his superbike, so buzzing away.

But as I say, slightly apprehensive, but that’s the buzz you’re after isn’t it? You can’t turn up and not feel excited otherwise what’s the point?
