Following an eventful Brno race weekend Yamaha Factory
Racing have successfully completed a one-day test at the Czech circuit.
Jorge Lorenzo spent the test sessions giving the first
shakedown of the 2013 YZR-M1 prototype. The team also worked to find an
improvement in the suspension on the front end of the bike to allow him to
brake later on the 2012 machine. Teammate Ben Spies had less to test, the Texan
spent the morning session working through different settings for the base set
up of his 2012 M1 to improve general performance over the remainder of the
season.
The team will now enjoy a one-week break before moving to
Aragon to test again on the 4th and 5th September.
Jorge Lorenzo
"We tried the 2013 bike today, for the moment it’s a
prototype so not the final one. The engineers will now take the data away to
prepare for our next test. We also worked on braking which was where I
struggled with Dani during yesterday’s race. We found something a bit better
which should help us gain some tenths of a second."
Ben Spies
"There was not so much for us to do today, we spent
some time this morning working on the base set up of the bike which completed
our test schedule. We’ll go to Aragon next week to continue and see if it helps
us for the next race in Misano."
