Future d'Antin Ducati rider Toni Elias is looking to end his Honda Gresini career with a home high in this weekend's Valencian Grand Prix.

Elias, whose 2007 campaign was split by a broken femur at Assen, claimed a decent sixth last time out at Sepang and now wants to end a difficult season with a strong performance in front of his home crowd.

"I can't wait to race in front of my home fans for the third time this season," said Elias, who has taken two podiums in 2007. "The backing of the Spanish fans always gives me an extra push and I usually need it at this circuit because it isn't amongst my favourites, with its twisty layout and lack of fast sections.

"I don't like the track but that's not a problem because I am racing in Spain and the atmosphere will be incredible with that level of support. Hopefully we can work well all weekend and get in the right shape to put on another good show," he added.
