FIRST AND SECOND LAPTIME FOR MELANDRI AND ELIAS AT JEREZ
After yesterday's rain, today the Motogp riders came back
to work at Jerez for the second and last day of testing.
Marco Melandri and Toni Elias worked in race conditions and
only at the end of the test sessions tested two qualifying
tyres.
MARCO MELANDRI (1°, 1'39"48, 72 laps): "I'm
happy because today we did a step forward with the setting
of the bike. We tested some different solutions to improve
the feeling with the front and changed the weight balance.
We found some interesting solutions and I look confident for
next gp.
We made tyre testing and in the end we tested two qualifying
because I needed to improve also this aspect. I look to Istanbul
with optimism".
TONI ELIAS (2°, 1'39"67, 59 laps):
"I leave Jerez after 2 positive days of testing, very
complete, because we could improve both on wet and dry conditions.
Today we worked on the set up of the bike with a new tyre
that Bridgestone brought us and that worked very well. We
also tested 2 qualifying tyres. I'm confident for the Turkish
GP, a track that I like a lot".
