BAYLISS (DUCATI XEROX) WRAPS UP BRNO TESTING WITH MORE RECORD
LAPS
Bologna (Italy), Wednesday 14th June: Troy Bayliss once again
dominated proceedings on the final day of Brno testing to
wind up quickest overall in the three days for the Ducati
Xerox Team.
The Australian, currently leading the 2006 World Superbike
Championship by a healthy margin after five rounds, concluded
the Pirelli tyre development tests with a quickest time of
2m00.0s on qualifying tyres and 2m00.8s on race rubber, both
well under all existing Brno Superbike best lap times.
The Ducati Xerox Team completed its work schedule in the
morning of the final day and did not test in the afternoon.
"It's been a good three days", declared Troy. "I
did some good times this morning both on qualifying and race
tyres and my long-run was 39 seconds quicker than last year's
time so I'm feeling pretty good about things. I'm in good
spirit and looking forward to racing at Misano next week."
Lorenzo Lanzi finished sixth overall in the three days of
tests after making considerable improvement on day 2.
"Yesterday I went well, today maybe a little less because
when I put on a qualifying tyres I found there was a lot of
traffic on the track so I was unable to make the most of it,"
declared Lorenzo. "However with the race tyre I have
a good pace so I'm confident. I can't wait for Misano, I like
that circuit and there'll be a lot of fans there to support
me so it's going to be a scorching hot weekend!"
