• #alexrins shows strong and consistent pace both on individual laps and during a race simulation.
• Whilst #andreaiannone waits to confirm his final configuration.
• Another productive and action-packed day for Team #Suzuki ECSTAR.
The third and final day of testing saw extreme heat and humidity once again, forcing the riders to use their time carefully. Taking to the track as soon as it opened allowed them to put in many laps in the morning before the heat became too intense. They then had to take a longer break in the afternoon, only rejoining the track once the temperature had dropped off.
Despite these difficulties the team were able to glean more useful information in regard to both the engine specification and chassis configuration, as well as testing other new parts in areas such as suspension.
As more and more riders pushed during the morning, the pace began to heat up, this saw some very fast lap times being set and the Team #Suzuki ECSTAR riders responded with a strong pace of their own, setting their fastest laps of the 3-day test.
Alex Rins used the morning session to focus on long runs, where he found a good and consistent pace. He reported a boost in confidence as his experience of the bike increased, and as he tried new parts and a different engine configuration which suited him well, and also improved acceleration and performance. Overall the Spaniard enjoyed a positive final day, closing the session in an impressive 6th place, just half a second from the fastest lap time, and +0.002 behind 5th place.
Andrea Iannone instead focused on the important process of trying to find his final preferences, and he completed a total of 62 laps despite the weather conditions. He found the final day to be useful as he tried several different settings and configurations.
Test riders #sylvainguintoli and Takuya Tsuda continued to try different parts in order to offer their valuable feedback on various options and packages.
