'Regaining confidence’ the aim for Waters at Cartagena

Halsall Suzuki’s Josh Waters is using the Pro-Test in Cartagena as a way to regain the confidence he once had in the MCE British Superbike Championship on the Suzuki. The likeable Aussie has not ridden a race bike since the last round at Brands Hatch and wants to get as many laps as possible under his belt.

Yesterday was about prepping the bike for today, and in the third session he was able to really get to grips with the new bike, and he forgot how fast he could go. He is aware that there are some teething problems, but he puts that down to being a new model.

Everything is new for Waters this week; it was the first time he met his new team-mate Christian Iddon on Wednesday, and now all he is concentrating on is feeling comfortable and more confident on a Suzuki once again, so he can improve on his results from last year.

“I only landed the day before the test in Spain so I was in a rush to come over here, and got nothing done yesterday as they were still preparing the bike, but today I managed to get back on the bike, and after the third session I was able to really put some laps down,” said Waters, speaking to bikesportnews.com.

“They are just brand new bikes and the team doesn’t have the electronics and there have been teething problems as the bikes are so new. It felt real fast on the bike and I haven't ridden since Brands. It is about getting the confidence back and getting comfortable and we are here all week so that’s good too.

“I want to keep improving the bike, as they are brand spanking new and I want to keep chipping away. I have a new team-mate and I only met him on the day I landed here, but I’m really laid back and get on with everyone, but tomorrow is about improving the bike even more.”
