Gabor Talmacsi in Valencia

Although the Aspar Team was not officially at the second two-day test in Valencia this week, Gabor Talmacsi was present nontheless to help out Rookie Johann Zarco who will start his first full 125cc season with the WTR San Marino Team on Aprilia.
Balatonring Aspar rider Talmacsi said that he was there to support Frenchman Zarco who's very quick and that whenever he needs advice with the set-up, Gabor helps him out and can use his good contacts with the Aprilia engineers.

Asked by journalists, Gabor also said that one has to maintain optimistic about the Hungarian GP this year. There have been rumours lately that the race in Hungary could be cancelled, because the track will not be ready in time. The former world champion admitted that there's a very tight schedule to build the Balatonring circuit, but at the same time noted that the F1 track in Valencia was built in only three months. Reminded by the interviewer that this circuit had already part of the infrastructure built beforehand, Talmacsi answered that this is right, but "my fans and I need this Hungarian GP!".
We hope for Gabor and the Hungarian fans as well as MotoGP fans worldwide that the new circuit can be finished in time and that we can see a new country added to the MotoGP calendar this year.
