Brands BSB: Front row ‘is something we deserve’ – Smrz

Moto Rapido Ducati’s Jakub Smrz will start from the second spot on the grid for tomorrow’s opening MCE British Superbike race at the Brands Hatch Indy circuit. After what he labelled as a ‘disastrous’ first round at Donington Park, the Czech Republic native is positive that his team ‘deserve’ a front row start, especially after all their hard work this weekend.

Smrz was blighted by technical difficulties during the opening round at Donington and came away with two DNF’s, but now the former World Superbike contender is back with vengeance and after a hot lap during the qualifying sessions today - of a 45.567, just shy off lap record pace, he can’t wait to show the fans what his Panigale can do on the track.

“It was good for us to get on the front row, especially after everything that happened at Donington as it was a big disaster during the first weekend as everything that was possible to go wrong did,” said Smrz at the circuit.

“Things here have gone really smooth and the team are going really well and doing a great job with the bike, and this is something we deserve. Thanks to the team - and hopefully we can be as high as today tomorrow. But I will try my best, especially after two zero’s at Donington.”
