ALEX BARROS RARING TO RIDE THE PRAMAC D'ANTIN BRIDGESTONE
SHOD DUCATI GP7 FOR THE FIRST TIME
ALEX
BARROS will ride the DUCATI GP7, equipped with Bridgestone
tires, for the first time later this week, during the three
day test that will take place at the Spanish circuit of Jerez
de la Frontera. The Brazilian pilot will continue his work
with the PRAMAC D'ANTIN Team, this time using the latest machinery,
the DUCATI GP7. The primary goal of these tests is to gather
important information about the PRAMAC D'ANTIN 2007 package,
in order to further the development of the GP7 and the complete
technical package. Following the Jerez test, a mandatory testing
ban will be in place through January 21st.
ALEX BARROS #4: "I wasn't expecting to test the DUCATI
GP7 with Bridgestone tires as early as this. The next three
days will be intense, as we will try out the new machine and
also the total package, that we will use to compete in the
2007 MotoGP season. It's my first test with the new 800cc
bike, and these tires. We will try to gather as much data
as possible so that we can keep developing the bike and determine
the best set-up. We will work very hard everyday, and I will
do my best to start this season in the best possible way.
I want to say thank you to DUCATI, for giving me the bike
in time for this test.
