This weekend's Monza round of the World Superbike Championship is literally a home event for Yamaha Motor Italia, with the Lesmo corners at the north of the track situated very close to the squad's race workshops in Gerno di Lesmo.

"Monza has only a few corners, but all of them are very important. After each corner there is a long, long straight. In my opinion one of the most important is the Parabolica. Going in faster and keeping the speed up through the corner allows riders to score good lap-times. It can make the difference between a good high speed and a fantastic one at the end of the pit straight. For this, I think, we should work on the suspension and the bikes' geometry in order to give our riders the possibility to be as fast as possible around this long corner," he concluded.

First qualifying takes place at Monza on Friday afternoon.
