The current 250cc World Championship leader, Mika Kallio arrives in China on a high after a string of podium finishes. The Finn was beating the drum at the MotoGP pre-event, and explains that the race itself fills him with confidence.

`It´s nice to be at the top of the standings; we will see how things are after Sunday,´ notes the Red Bull KTM rider, in blistering form thus far in 2008.
