Positive test for Pata by Martini at Jerez


Lombardi was clearly quickest with a time of 1'46.400 on his Supersport-spec Yamaha R6, but the reigning Italian champion had to sort out a few electronics and set-up problems before he was able to put in a series of quick laps on day 2. Francesco Cocco, who will take part in the European and Italian Superstock 600 Championships, also went well, notching up a time of 1'48.000, the young Italian immediately finding a good feeling with his R6, while Luca Salvadori was almost a second down with a 1.49'100. Andrea Buccheri will be taking part in the Two Countries Cup trophy in 2012 and he set an encouraging time of 1'49.7.


"I couldn't have asked for more from this test," declared Pata by Martini team manager Claudio Quintarelli. "Dino had to struggle with a few set-up problems but once they were resolved he set a quick time. We've put together a great team: serious, fast and well-sorted. We'll be aiming to make all the difference in the championships in which we're taking part in 2012."
