Jerez Test, Day 2 – Quotes 250cc

Alvaro Bautista 1.43.673 (54 laps)
“Today we tried to continue progressing with the front suspension. We tested several things, some we dropped and some we can use. I think that we did some good work and we have several options now to be used in the future. The most important thing of the day is that we progressed in terms of the feeling on the bike, because I felt very comfortable riding the bike. The main thing now is to get a good rythm and to continue enjoying riding the bike. The second day of testing we mainly worked with the frame, more than with the engine. With the work we’ve done today we have a good number of setup options that we can use during the championship, depending on the circuit.”

Mike Di Meglio 1.44.468 (49 laps)
“I think today things have gone far better for us. I tried to go little by little, understanding the characteristics of the bike. And so we finished very well and I have improved my laptime over two seconds compared to yesterday. I felt very comfortable on the bike and I believe that this is really important in these moments of adaptation. I hope that tomorrow the conditions will improve and that I can continue to get a better feeling. At the beginning of the session I have did some laps to get an impression of the bike and when the laptimes were getting faster, we began working on the front. We need to improve the setting of the rear suspension a little, but the conclusion of the day is very positive. A day where we worked hard and always kept our focus in spite of not having experience with 250cc.”
