@MRS @Yamaha Moves On To @Misano


The MRS Yamaha team makes its way to Misano for the eighth stop on the eni FIM Superbike World Championship calendar, staged at Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli this weekend.
It will be another action packed weekend, as thirty-eight riders will dash towards the first chicane at the start of the Superstock 1000 race during the PATA Riviera di Rimini Round.
Two weeks ago Kev Coghlan had a brave ride to fifth during the race in Portimão, where he rode with a fractured right little finger. The Briton was on the verge of a podium finish, motivating him even more to fight with the front riders this weekend.
On the mend from his hand injury and with a basis set-up already sorted out in pre-season testing, he feels confident he can get another top result in Misano. He is determined to ride his YZF-R1M to the podium during Sunday's sprint and bridge the five points gap to third place in the championship standings.
Teammate Florian Marino also gave a heroic performance at his return in Portugal. He was forced to sit out the race in Donington after a high-speed crash in Imola, but was back in the saddle just four weeks later. Riding with surgical plates in his right forearm, he stunned with an eleventh place finish, scoring him vital championship points.
Marino is working hard on his recovery and is getting fitter every single day. With only three races still to go in the 2015 FIM Superstock 1000 Cup, he looks forward to being able to give a 100 per cent this weekend to climb up from tenth place in the overall rankings.



Kev Coghlan

Championship: 5th, 61 points

"The weekend we had in Portimão was quite positive. It was interesting to test the changes made to the bike on a new track and see if it transfers there and works as good as it did during the test we had earlier that week. We managed to have some testing done in Misano during the pre-season. It's one of the few tracks where we rode the bike previously and already got a basis, that should make the weekend a bit easier. Hopefully we can get a bit closer to the top guys and get back onto the podium."






Florian Marino

Championship: 10th, 23 points

"My arm is certainly not at a 100 per cent, but it's getting better than what it was in Portimão. I was quite tired after the race, but I'm starting to feel better and look forward to Misano. The track is very demanding in some parts, but I think it will be a good track for us. I have some good memories there, so I hope I can ride a good race. In Portimão we could already see that I was fast, but I just wasn't strong enough to keep the pace going for the whole race. I'm still following my recovery program and I hope that I'll be able to fight until the end of this weekends race, that's the goal. I want to be able to give it my all over the full race distance, that's my main concern, so I'll work hard to be ready. In Portimão we worked on the power delivery of the bike to make it go smoother, which helped me. So far I'm happy with the bike's performance, it has been improving well and I feel great on it."
