Testing starts, stops and continues at Misano
The test started in dry conditions, but in the afternoon, around 13.00, the rains arrived and halted proceedings, although most riders went back out on track later in the day, as the track started to dry out. One more day of testing is scheduled for today.
Said Aprilia team manager Francesco Guidotti, "We ran until around 1pm then we had some heavy rain. Otherwise the test has been good, so far everything is under control. With Max Biaggi and Leon Camier we are just preparing for the race next week."
Biaggi set a 1'36.4 in the morning, and Camier 1'37.1, in what is his second test at Misano this season. Guidotti is confident that the team can get through its workload if conditions improve, but the forecast is for the possibility of more rain at some stage. "If we can ride all day long tomorrow it will be enough for us, but we can't do anything about the weather. We expect it to be really hot next week."
