Spies sets the pace yet again in Monza debut test

 

"The test was good, it was really good to come back and reset myself after Valencia as I was feeling really frustrated" said Spies. "It was good to take a couple of days off, then come back fresh. We found a really good pace, and I loved Monza which is another new track for me. We also did half a race simulation, and got some really competitive times. I think we've got a good setup for the bike for when we come back here. Hopefully we'll show up with a couple more tricks on the bike as well."

 

"As soon as I did my first lap I had a big smile, the track is amazing, and not what I'm used to at all, lots of fast straights and fantastic corners" declared Sykes. "It was a really good test for me, we've proved again we can be very fast and we can do the lap times over distance. Overall we've found a good set-up. It was a great opportunity for myself and my side of the garage to look at what changes we make and what it does to the character of the bike. We should be faster now which is good, considering the pace we have already. I've always wanted to ride Assen, unfortunately it's not the old full circuit I'm but still looking forward to it."
