After a long summer break, the World Superbike Championship is back on the track at Jerez de la Frontera, the Spanish circuit that will be hosting this third-last round of the 2015 season. The Aprilia Racing – Red Devils riders are both strongly motivated and keen to get back on their RSV4 machines.

Leon Haslam has made it clear that his goal is to get back onto the podium after two races where he struggled more than usual. On the Spanish track Leon will be able to take advantage of the work done during the winter tests, partially hindered by foul weather but still useful for finding a starting point in terms of bike setup.

Spaniard Jordi Torres will be playing on his home pitch where an extra push is expected from his local fans, always ready with a warm welcome in Andalusia. The best performing rookie in the 2015 World Superbike Championship is coming off a nice podium in the Sepang Race 2, achieved under difficult conditions, and he is confident his RSV4 RF will help him continuing to perform consistently.

Leon Haslam: “I’m really looking forward to Jerez, seven weeks is a really long time off my RSV4. Jerez is a track where we tested with Aprilia, so that makes me even more anxious to get started. After the disappointments in the last two rounds I can’t wait to put my Aprilia back on the podium.”

Jordi Torres: “Jerez is my home track and we have done a lot of testing here. After such a long break I'll need to take care in the first session and get used to the speed again quickly so I can start working on the setup as soon as possible. After this long holiday I am really anxious to get back on the bike, especially at Jerez, a track that I like and where I'm confident that my Aprilia will do well. It is a technical and very physical track, but I'm sure the Spanish fans will help me to be as fast as possible.”
