Byrne ready to go at Assen
Last year, Marco Borciani's team did well at the Dutch circuit, taking fourth place with Ruben Xaus, while Max Biaggi finished the two races in tenth and twelfth place respectively due to the injury he had suffered in Australia.
Team manager Marco Borciani declared: "I hope that this time everything will go well. Shakey has proven till now he can be really fast, even when he is not physically at his best. We were pretty unlucky at Valencia, especially during practice when we blew off two out of three opportunities to get a good start. As a consequence, we will focus on practice at Assen. In a hard-fought competition like the WSBK is, in order to score great results you have to start from the front or second row of the grid so that you don't waste valuable time on the first corners. We learned our lesson in Valencia and although Shane had a great racing pace that could've enabled him to finish in the top 5, his starting position on the grid prevented him from doing better".
