BAYLISS AND FABRIZIO COMPLETE FINAL TEST SESSION IN QATAR BEFORE SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP OPENS
I'm pretty happy with how things have gone here. On Tuesday we sorted out a
few "gremlins" so to speak. We had a brand new bike here and it always
takes a bit of time to run in so we hope that we have solved those
problems before next week's race. We've tried
different things today with regard to set-up and I managed to complete
55 laps. Lap times were good and we were able to do a long-run after
lunch too which went well. I'm also pretty positive about my condition,
as although yesterday I wasn't feeling so comfortable with the bikes
settings, I felt much better today after we changed a few things and I
think I can say I'm pretty much back to normal. I'm happy I still have
another week to get even fitter before next week."
It went well here this week. Yesterday we had a few technical problems but
today it all went much better and I'm happy with the progress we made.
Today I managed to do 10 laps, each in under 2 minutes, and a total of
71 laps. I'd say that we're ready for the race next week and I can't
wait for the championship to begin!"
