Roberto Rolfo will return to the Moto2 Grand Prix category next season, following a somewhat disappointing year on a Pedercini Kawasaki in WSBK. The Italian rider will be competing for Team CIP TechnoMag, and he recently traveled to Alès, France, to see visit their headquarters and meet the team. Roby will be back on a Suter for 2012, after acting a test rider early in the Swiss bike's development. Talking about the trip was Rolfo himself, by way of his personal website.
"Hey everyone, how have you been? I'm doing better all the time, and I'm extra excited after my first visit with the team!!! On Friday, December 16th, I was in Alès, Frace, to see the headquarters of my new squad :)
"After a nice long trip from Lugano to the south of France, I must say that my reception was fantastic!!! Waiting for me as I entered the race shop was a shiny new Suter Moto2, with the number 44 on the front!!!
"It felt great to get back on a race bike, and I really wanted to give it some Gasss! I met my telemetry engineer, and the guys that will be working on my bike. They are all young and very hungry to succeed :)
"After my first lunch with the team, we analyzed a few technical details thanks to some acquired data and a lap (in a car) of the Alès circuit near the team HQ. We also made plans for our first test session, which will take place in early February.
After such a wonderful day, the long trip back to Switzerland was definitely more enjoyable! So I'll soon be giving it Gasss again, and I want to wish you all HAPPY HOLIDAYS, AND REMEMBER TO STAY ON THE GASSS!!!”
