CIRCUIT
 After
an astonishing race for Alex Barros, and a good one for Hofmann
that achieve the 9th position, the Team Pramac d’Antin,
spend one day enough in Turkey to do the optional test. The
today’s happened tests, was especially to try different
kind of tires, to have complete picture of the situation for
the next European races.
Alex Barros who finished a lot of laps, focused his self on
the front and rear with both qualifying and race tires obtaining
very prominent results for his championship.
Instead, Alex Hofmann wasn’t able to make the most this
day, because of some substantial ache rib after his yesterday’s
fall during the warm- up. The rider can’t be folded
on this bike to make laps in good way.
Alex Barros (1’53.200 qualifying tires, 1’53.300
race tires – 69 laps): “I’m very
happy for this day, it couldn’t be better than this!
We made a lot of laps using new kind of tires that give us
very positive results; riding my DUCATI GP7, I was able to
lower my race pace round about one second. This test’s
result was really important for us, we had a confirm about
our competitiveness one time more.
I’m more confident and motivated to go on, all seems
to be in the right direction, if we continued to well work,
I’m sure about good results as the fourth position yesterday
achieve.”
Alex Hofmann (1’54.240 race tires – 32
laps): “Unfortunately I’m wasn’t
able to have the maximum from this Turkish tests. The ache
I had was quite strong and I can stay on saddle in the right
way. I go do on track for the only reason to try important
things for my next European races at Le Mans. Today the track
had good conditions and made me confident with a kind of Bridgestone
race’s tires, in fact I succeded to improve my time
obtained with qualifying tires; today my race pace was 1’54
low. As regarding the general set-up, we don’t made
something different, only few different adjustment for each
kind of tires. In spite of I spend few time on track, we obtained
equally some important information, now I hope to return in
good heath as soon as possible for the next race in China”.
