Towards California

From the North Sea to the Pacific Ocean. From Assen to Laguna Seca, the World Championship moves from one of the most famous European tracks to one of the most known North American ones.

The Scot Racing Team flies there with a sole rider, as the smaller capacities do not take part into the Californian event. So, Hiroshi Aoyama, leader of the 250cc Championship and Raffaele De Rosa, his young teammate and on top of the Rookies in the same class, train for the next European race, Gabor Talmacsi, a recent entry in the MotoGP category, studies the data and prepares for one of the most challenging circuit of the World Circus.

"I never have been there. I'm really curious. I asked for information to my more experienced companions, and everybody told me that Laguna is different and difficult. Well, the great majority of things are new, for me, in the MotoGP class. So, I'm getting used to face new challenges. I will try to understand by myself as many things as I can, about Laguna Seca; then I will knock to Nicky Hayden's motor-home and ask for his advice - he declared himself glad to teach me the secrets of his home circuit".

"We reached a point at which I feel necessary to work a little bit more on the setup, to improve my performances. In the first races, the target was simply - not to do silly things and learn as much as I could. Now, I want to make a step ahead - leave the last position to some other guy".
