ORELAC RACING VERDNATURA KAWASAKI
“
We are very much a ‘ biker ’ family . When our parents were young , they were already riding motorcycles but they didn ’ t do races , they just rode motorcycles . Then my older cousins started riding motorcycles , Maverick and I got together with them and we started racing when we were little ; our parents took us with them . The truth is that we never imagined that we were going to end up where we ended up ! We have only ridden two days with the new 2021 bike , but we ’ re really looking forward to seeing what happens . In the Barcelona test I was still very lost , it was the first time I had raced with the new bike and with these electronics , but the impression is that this is another level , people go very fast , and they will have to clench their fists . I intend to do my best and learn , without getting nervous . The important thing is to progress and at the end of the year , begin to push harder and be bolder . But for now , we are going to start very calm . At Orelac , they have told me to go step-by-step , that you have to learn and that the riders with whom I ’ m going to compete against have been here for many years with the same bike , and we have come from competing with a motorcycle that
EXCITING CONTENT was without electronics , therefore now we have to learn . We ’ re going to do it race by race , that ’ s where we ’ ll really learn and see the differences .”
Jose Calero , Team Principal ” For Orelac it is a real luxury to have Viñales , whom we consider a pilot with enormous projection and a very outstanding work capacity . We know that we will work to offer him the best conditions to complete a magnificent season . This year we have made a major qualitative leap thanks to KRT and Kawasaki and our coalition , renewed for 2021 , ensures many successes . Nobody doubts since Orelac Racing is one of the most reliable teams in the Superbike World Championship ”
