Busy day of testing for Ducati Team at Aragon
Thursday, 7 June 2012
The Ducati Team took advantage of a beautiful, sunny day to complete a busy test schedule at the Spanish Aragon circuit yesterday. Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden worked hard, riding from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and turning 70 and 66 laps, respectively.
Nicky Hayden
"We couldn�t really have asked for a better day, weather-wise. It was pretty hot, but not unbearable, so a good opportunity to try some things and do some good work. The day started out pretty well, as we were able to make a couple of good steps straight away. This afternoon we tested some bigger parts for Ducati and weren�t able to go faster. Of course we�d like to be closer to the top, but we got some good data, and hopefully we can put it all together soon with a good result."
Valentino Rossi
"It went pretty well because it was important to do some riding at this track, where I didn�t know all the �secrets.� I�m just sorry to have had a small problem at the end of the session. Maybe a cable in the ECU broke, so I was stuck in the garage for fifteen minutes, which prevented me from using the second soft tyre that I had available. Otherwise, I think I could have been a little bit better. We didn�t have enough time to try the aluminium swingarm again, but since we found some positive things, we can say that it was a good test."
