Roberts: Got to get back to where we were.

Kenny Roberts Jr is hoping that the level playing field provided by the lack of testing at Istanbul Park, venue for this weekend's Turkish Grand Prix, will help him return to the kind of competitive form seen at the end of last season.

"We've got to get back to where we were at the end of last season at the right end of the grid," said Roberts. "Everyone's working hard and in Turkey everyone starts from the same position in terms of set-up so we've got to make sure we're real smart about how we use our tyres in all the sessions."

2000 world champion Roberts has finished just 13th and 16th in the first two races of 2007.
