Ten Kate outlines targets for Guintoli and van der Mark
What we should expect of Guintoli and van der Mark in 2015…
The Pata Honda World Superbike Team is running a star-studded line-up in 2015, with reigning WorldSBK Champion Sylvain Guintoli partnered by World Supersport title holder Michael van der Mark to make up a thrilling rider combination.
With a mixture of experience and youth between them, targets naturally vary, as Team Manager Ronald Ten Kate confirmed when he spoke with WorldSBK.com.
“Clearly,” Ten Kate affirmed when asked whether goals do vary between the two riders. “With Sylvain, we want to be running for the top spot again: minimum top three, I would say. With Michael it is a learning year, so we are hoping for top eight with some podiums during the season. We have got to give him time.”
In the full video interview, Ronald Ten Kate also discusses how Honda are faring with the new regulations as well as the team’s World Supersport star Kyle Smith.
