He is the defending local and Caribbean Superbike champion for the past two years and Guyana’s Stephen ‘Valentino Rossi’ Vieira speaking with Kaieteur Sport at the Head office of his main sponsor Continental Foods Inc, Industrial Site said that he is rearing to go on Sunday when the Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club (GMR&SC) stages its first Meet of the year, at the South Dakota Circuit.
Vieira disclosed to this newspaper that the Company has already bought him a 2013 Suzuki GSX R 600cc motor cycle, but that it would not be available until the first leg of the Caribbean Championship scheduled for Jamaica.
The local speedster was thankful for the support offered over the years by Mr. Puri of Continantal Agencies, who according to Vieira has been extremely kind in contributing largely to success.
Caribbean and Local Superbike champion Stephen ‘Valentino Rossi’ Vieira receives a cheque from Continental Foods Inc. Junior Supervisor Priya Bisessar on Wednesday afternoon, at the Company’s Head Office.
“I would like to personally thank Mr. Puri for his support over the years which have increased with every good performance and his latest involvement has been to assist me in procuring a new bike,” Vieira said.
The Caribbean champ, who was presented with a cheque for an undisclosed sum by Junior Supervisor Priya Bisessar, also extended his gratitude to the Management and Staff of the Company which he pointed out has stood by his side in the time of need.
He also recognised the input of Fitness Trainer of Top End Performance Training System Kezqweyah Yisrael, who he credited for helping him recuperate following a career threatening injury, while motor bike tuner Marcel Profitt was duly recognised for his assistance over the years as well.
Commenting on his preparations and chances of continuing his dominance on the local scene, the easy going speedster informed that he will be using a borrowed bike, but is still hoping to get adjusted to it in time for Sunday’s showdown with some of the best racers in the category.
As for his fitness, Vieira said that he is feeling fine and even though it is the first Meet of the season, he is confident and believes that his experience and superior skill could keep him at the top of the podium.
Twenty-two races are carded for the day and competitors will line up in all the different categories in what is already being hyped to produce some exhilarating performances.
The first race is set to begin at 09:00 hrs with the line-up of competitors set for 08:30 hrs.
