Test - Monza
DUCATI XEROX TEAM COMPLETE TESTING SESSION AT MONZA
the Ducati Xerox Team spent yesterday and this morning on
track at Monza with official factory riders Troy Bayliss and
Michel Fabrizio continuing to test the performance of the
Ducati 1098 F08. Despite heavy rainfall on both days the two
riders managed to complete a decent number of laps yesterday
while only Fabrizio went out this morning.
The test session proved extremely useful for the Ducati Xerox
Team, as this was the first real chance that the riders have
had to test the F08 in such conditions. The team were able
to collate important data regarding the capabilities of the
new machine at this track, in preparation for Round 5 of the
World Superbike championship which will be held here at Monza
next month.
Davide Tardozzi, Team Manager:
"Even though it has rained pretty much non-stop since
we got here, it's been a useful lesson for the team and riders
as until now we hadn't had the chance to see how the F08 performs
on track in the wet. So, seeing at is likely that it will
rain during the next round in Assen, this has not been a wasted
two days but rather a useful training exercise."
TIMES: Bayliss (Ducati Xerox) 2m04.8s; Fabrizio
(Ducati Xerox) 2m05.6s
