Laverty: “Time to knock Crutchlow down a peg”

Press release:

PARKALGAR HONDA ace Eugene Laverty goes to the 12th round of the World Supersport Championship at Imola in Italy knowing he needs to beat Championship leader and title rival Cal Crutchlow.

Portuguese Parkalgar Honda racer Miguel Praia is riding well and hoping to challenge for the top 10 again. He is building his confidence ahead of the final round of the Championship at his and the team’s home track of Portimao in Portugal. There is one practice session on Friday, followed by another on Saturday along with qualification. The race takes place at 1325CET on Sunday, September 27th.

Eugene:

“Imola is a very important round. We tested at the circuit in July and had the same pace as Crutchlow and now we need to beat him. It is time to knock Crutchlow down a peg and get back into the title fight for the last two rounds.”

Miguel:

“I am now focussed on improving my results, these are the last three races of the season and I want to try and get into the top 10 again. I think we have the pace and the Parkalgar Honda is a very good bike.”

Simon Buckmaster, Parkalgar Honda Team Manager:

“We had a good test at Imola earlier in the year and Eugene was on the leading pace. We have been working hard on the Parkalgar Honda CBR600RR since then and have improved the package a bit more. We have full confidence in Eugene and we all need him to win the race. Miguel is riding well and very focussed on improving his best ever result of 10th. He has the bike and package to challenge in the top 10.”
