Criville chasing podium repeat.

Alex Criville took second in Brno to record his best result since he won the 2000 French GP, after a difficult run of races. The Spaniard is now hoping to continue his return to form at the year's final two races on the Iberian peninsular, following earlier outings at Catalunya and Jerez.

"Getting second at Brno was a big boost for me and my team, so we're going to Portugal with the determination to try and repeat that result," says Criville, who topped the times during Honda's Valencia session last Friday and Saturday.
