GIORGIO BARBIER

Happy with the assessments; Phillip Island stays probably the most demanding circuit for the tyres

“We’re happy with these two testing days. The options we’ve got introduced for this primary spherical are the identical ones already used on this monitor three months in the past so the riders already knew them fairly effectively even when, it needs to be remembered, final 12 months it rained, there was just one dry race and the temperatures had been all the time fairly low, as much as 20 levels lower than on this 12 months’s assessments. Now we’re again racing in direction of the top of the southern summer season so the climate is decidedly milder. The riders did job in these two days by attempting all of the options we introduced, together with the usual SC0 rear which they’ll use as a qualifying tyre and presumably for the ten lap Superpole Race. Nevertheless, Phillip Island stays a really treacherous and demanding circuit for the tyres on account of its structure and asphalt traits which will be considerably exacerbated within the occasion of excessive temperatures.”
