ahead of Assen Honda

The goal for the Netherlands in the legendary TT Assen, where Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa for the victory will be challenged as the Championship very busy entrance of three races in a row is Netherlands.

As in the United Kingdom will the weather be very erratic in Assen can, but both Honda factory rider purposefully and with confidence after their double podium at Silverstone in the race with their first with new Bridgestone front tyre.

Stoner, who in 2008 won the TT, has celebrated the Netherlands, six podium at Assen and is since 2007 not are unsuccessful, to achieve it. Australia will be looking for a solid performance next time it came out when he attempted the claws back some points on World Championship leader Jorge Lorenzo. Stoner and Lorenzo are Prix with a 42 piece career now both on victory in the Grand.

Pedrosa, was injured last year, had six podium finishes on the track, with three in the premier class. Pedrosa's lack of team-mate Stoner now only 14 points and Spain is supported by the fact that he took his team-mate at the wire in the last round at Silverstone.

Assen circuit was shortened somewhat with modifications in 2006, but quickly changes direction it retains the old tracks, where the bike needed, and turns banked promoting one it made sight to the fans.

Casey Stoner

"We had some good results to ACEs, but also some very bad, so hopefully we can go it competitive this weekend and avoid injuries like last year, when I hurt my neck, which follows us for seasons and is still problematic to me now." You spend much time on the edge of the tyre in Assen and is unfortunately a weak point on our bikes at the moment, so we have to work on Thursday and Friday to improve before we look at us it can be competitive. I really hope that because we need the weather good for us, to track times as much as possible on a broad range of issues on the bike to work. "With three races back it is important to get a good result in Assen, Sachsenring and Mugello, so we have to stay concentrated."

Dani Pedrosa

"I'm not there last year due to an injury, but it is a line which we know well." The weather has changed Assen, so I hope that we continue to make more accessible some dry sessions set up the machine and it. I am really looking forward to this race and striving for, the best drive.
