Movistar Yamaha MotoGP Get First Feel For Austrian Circuit

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

The Movistar #yamaha #motogp team shaped up for the NeroGiardini Motorrad Grand Prix von Österreich during today and yesterday's private test at the Red Bull Ring - Spielberg circuit. #valentinorossi and #jorgelorenzo took their YZR-M1 machines to the track for the first time to get a head start on preparing a well-balanced setting for the tenth race of the #motogp season. The teammates tried various Michelin tyres and worked diligently on their settings at the circuit that lays the importance on top speed, acceleration and braking stability.

On August 14th, the circuit will host a #motogp Grand Prix for the first time in nineteen years. Thanks to his long career in the #motogp World Championship, Rossi is the only current premier class rider who has ever ridden at the circuit before. He has good memories of the venue as he secured his first ever podium at the Red Bull Ring for a third place in the 125cc class in 1996. The Italian had fun experiencing the track on a 1000cc bike over the last two days, as shown by the fifth fastest time he set today, a 1'24.169s.

As it was the first time for teammate Lorenzo to ride at the Austrian circuit, his main aim was to get a feel for the track's unique character and find a good balance for all aspects of his bike's set up. The track has only ten corners (three left and seven right), a 626m longest straight and many opportunities to fully open the throttle. The Mallorcan was impressed with the beauty of the circuit and looks forward to #racing there in three weeks' time after booking progress with the set up of his bike today. His fastest time, a 1'24.194s, earned him sixth place in the second day time sheets.
