Just a week before the start of the
second round of the World Superbike championship at Motorland Aragon,
Pata Honda, Kawasaki, Fixi Crescent Suzuki and Ducati’s SBK test team
completed their three days of private testing at the Motorland Aragon
circuit.
While the first two days of testing
was slightly hampered by strong winds, the final day [Thursday] was
limited by rain showers, however Tom Sykes continued to be fastest rider
overall with a best lap in 1’57″2 while testing new chassis new
components some engine improvements.
Team mate Loris Baz, who has recently
took part in the official pre-tests at Magny Cours with Team Kawasaki
SRC ahead of the 2013 Bol d’Or endurance race also found some
improvements ahead of next Sunday’s double header.
Tom Sykes said, “I think that my
wrist is about 80% and my ribs 98% back to normal, so that was good. I
was able to ride the bike again without too many limitations. We had
some rain in the final afternoon but we had already finished just about
everything we had wanted to do at the end of the second day. We were
going to do a couple of long runs on two different settings today but
the rain interrupted that. We have put a lot of laps on our tyres here
and we still have all of race weekend to check out the final tyre
situation for raceday. This test has also brought us some benefits in
performance.”
