SEPANG TEST DAY 2 CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT.




Second day of testing at the Malaysian circuit of Sepang for the two riders of Team Suzuki Espargaro and Vinales.
The second day was characterized once again as it is normal for both the job of taking the data of the new members, in particular the electronics industry is where we try to work harder and find new ways and solutions, today a good electronics can make the difference between a competitive bike and a no.
In the morning both Aleix that Maverick were called to a test work on the various components including the new and more powerful engine with an output full and fluid appreciated by both drivers and the new chassis that should maintain good chassis of the bike as the past season despite having more power to earth ground.
However the day was positive, Vinales still feels the latter run on this track where the grip is not the best and try to work to find a solution to this problem to help him on other tracks like this, also it came out only Vinales even with the soft rubber for a number of rounds before the accident of Loris Baz surrendered the rubber no longer usable by any pilot to the danger structure that Michelin must solve,
Even for Aleix workday positive but with some more problems of youth of the new songs to be tested and then with the incident Baz his times were made only with hard rubber.

The second day is to record these times:
1 "Danilo Petrucci Ducati with 2.00.095
11 "Maverick Vinales on Suzuki with 2.01.421
16 'Aleix Espargaró on Suzuki with 2.02.092

We can not do a thought today against Stoner in 9 "position trailing by one second from Petrucci

Tomorrow the third and last day of testing we expect some surprises .......

Seconda giornata di test sul circuito Malese di Sepang per i due piloti del Team Suzuki Espargarò e Vinales.
La seconda giornata è stata caratterizzata ancora una volta come è normale che sia dal lavoro di presa dati dei nuovi componenti,in particolare il settore dell'elettronica è dove si cerca di lavorare di più e trovare nuove strade e soluzioni,oggi una buona elettronica può fare la differenza tra una moto competitiva e una no.
Nella mattinata sia Aleix che Maverick sono stati chiamati ad un lavoro di test sulle varie componenti compreso il nuovo motore più potente e con un'erogazione piena e fluida apprezzata dai due piloti e il nuovo telaio che dovrebbe mantenere la buona ciclistica della moto come la passata stagione pur avendo più potenza da scaricare a terra.
Comunque la giornata è stata positiva, Vinales sente ancora il posteriore scappare su questa pista dove il grip non è dei migliori e cerca di lavorare per trovare una soluzione a questo problema che lo aiuti anche su altre piste simili a questa,inoltre solo Vinales è uscito anche con la gomma morbida per una serie di tornate prima che l'incidente di Loris Baz rendesse la gomma non più utilizzabile da nessun pilota per il pericolo strutturare che Michelin deve risolvere,
Anche per Aleix giornata di lavoro positiva ma con qualche problema in più di gioventù dei nuovi pezzi da testare e poi con l'incidente di Baz i suoi tempi sono stati fatti solamente con gomma dura.

La seconda giornata fa registrare questi tempi:
1"Danilo Petrucci su Ducati con 2.00.095
11"Maverick Vinales su Suzuki con 2.01.421
16"Aleix espargarò su Suzuki con 2.02.092

Non possiamo non fare un pensiero anche oggi nei confronti di Stoner in 9" posizione staccato di 1 secondo da Petrucci 

Domani terzo e ultimo giorno di test ci aspettiamo delle sorprese.....

FP1 LOSAIL POSITIVE DAY



Start off the adventure of Team Suzuki in the MotoGP World 2015, the evening of Losail started the first free practice where Marquez was confirmed at the top of the timesheets but the third place we find Aleix Espargaro with a time of 1.55,685 adrift just 0.404 from Marquez, we are still at the first session but despite the large difference in top speed on the straight where still missing about 20Km / h the lap time is respectable and bodes well for the next few sessions.More detached Maverick Vinales in seventeenth place trailing by 1,641 from Marquez for his work is still so much, everything is new and must hone certain automatism and confidence but surely we will find different positions higher.The news about the opponents is that both Ducati Yamaha that are not in the top positions as was seen in tests of the previous days, perhaps some pilot is hiding to show the true potential when the stopwatch count really.

Comincia bene l'avventura del Team Suzuki nel Mondiale MotoGp 2015,nella sera di Losail sono iniziate le prime prove libere dove Marquez si è confermato in vetta alla classifica dei tempi ma al terzo posto troviamo Aleix Espargarò con un tempo di 1.55,685 staccato di appena 0,404 da Marquez,siamo ancora alla prima sessione ma nonostante la grande differenza di velocità massima sul rettilineo dove ancora mancano circa 20Km/h il tempo sul giro è di tutto rispetto e fa ben sperare per le prossime sessioni.
Più staccato Maverick Vinales in diciassettesima posizione staccato di 1,641 da Marquez per lui il lavoro è ancora tanto , è tutto nuovo e deve affinare certi automatismi e confidenza ma sicuramente lo troveremo diverse posizioni più in alto.
La notizia riguardante gli avversari è che sia Ducati che Yamaha non sono nelle prime posizioni come si era visto nei test dei precedenti giorni,forse qualche pilota si sta nascondendo per far vedere il vero potenziale quando il cronometro conterà veramente.

FACTS BIG STEPS FORWARD IN SEPANG TEST




SUZUKI MotoGP has concluded its three-day season-opening MotoGP test at Sepang in Malaysia today with positive results and valuable new data acquired in readiness for its full MotoGP comeback in 2015. 
Team riders Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Vinales continued to improve their lap-times around the 5.543km Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia, enthusiastic about progress made this week; and the improvements and refinements made to their GSX-RRs. 
Espargaro completed a total of 137 laps to finish 10th in the overall rankings after setting a best-lap of 2:00.486 today; an improvement of 1.73-seconds since testing began on Wednesday. 
MotoGP class rookie Vinales, who recorded a total of 176 laps, moved up to 12th overall today after lapping at 2:00.964; a significant improvement of 2.2-seconds from his initial first-session time. 

Satoru Terada - Team Director/ Project Leader: 
“The most important thing is that we had no major troubles and no crashes, plus we completed a full three-days of testing. Both of our riders have made great improvements, which has given us the confidence in the work we have done over the winter; and we are even-more motivated now. 
“We are quite happy with their lap-times as they have improved a great amount during the three-days, and we are clearer now on the areas we have to work on. The factory needs to find the optimal-solution now for our upcoming tests so that we can get ready for the first race in Qatar.” 

Davide Brivio - Team Manager: 
“I’m very happy with this test because we were able to achieve some good improvements and also get some good answers and feedback. First of all, our reliability has greatly improved, we have run for three-days now, plus two-days previously with our test riders; which means five-days without any problems. This shows that the engineers at the factory in Japan have worked well during the winter, and they have made a great effort. 
“We were also able to work a lot with both our riders and put-in many laps and this helped them both to understand the bike more and we could therefore improve the settings of their machines. We also made good improvements on the electronics-side as well, and overall, the package seems to be at a good level already, because we learned that we have a very good chassis and a very good bike which Aleix and Maverick are happy to ride. 
“The other thing that we have to mention is that our riders are obviously a very-strong factor of this whole package and development: They work very hard and they get along with the team crews very well, which I believe is very important; so there are many positive elements here. But we also know our weak-points, but I think our engineers have acquired sufficient information here to find a solution to them all. We still have a lot of work to do and there’s a long way ahead to achieve them yet, but I would say that we are having a promising start. It’s been a hard winter for everybody and I want to thank all the guys in Japan; everyone needs to continue going forward and we have to continue to give our best.” 

Aleix Espargaro: 
“Overall I’m very happy with the first test and we have to be proud of improving a lot of the reliability of the engine. We had no problems in three days which is great and the atmosphere of the team is really fantastic. I already feel better than last year as I am very comfortable with the team. It’s very important for me that I feel the people working together are my family; so I’m very happy about this! 
“I‘m also happy that the bike is improving and developing really quickly: From the first test I think that our bike is not so-far-off the factory Yamaha and Ducati, so we have to be proud of that - although we still have to continue really hard. We finished the test 1.6-seconds away from the factory Honda, so we need to be closer at the next test. 
“I know that the Suzuki engineers and technicians will work really hard at the factory and I will also train harder in my house to be fully-fit. It won’t be easy during the first part of the season, as everything is still new, but I’m really optimistic.” 


Maverick Vinales: 
“I’m very happy as we worked so hard from the opening day of the test and we made some big steps forward. We improved more than two seconds from the first day, so we are very happy. We worked so much with the chassis all the time during the past three days and I believe that we can go two-to-three steps better now. 
“I would like to concentrate a little bit more on the engine-side for me at the next test, but the chassis is perfect; I can go 100% on the bike and I can push so much more with the front tyre, so that this is what I really like a lot with the bike. I can go so fast into the corners and this is the big advantage. If we are able to have slightly more engine power, and keep this advantage of the chassis, I believe that we can make even bigger improvements. 
“Although I’m struggling a little bit on how to manage the tyres - as it’s so very different to Moto2 - finding the best lines is a slightly difficult-point for me right now. My team helped me a lot finding the best lines and I managed this and improved a lot during the test. I’m so happy that all the crews and engineers worked so hard for me during these three days of testing and I’m really looking forward to our next test.”

REPORT DAY2 ESPARGARO & VINALES FASTER AT SEPANG

 


SUZUKI MotoGP continued to make strong and positive progress in the second day of testing at Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia today as Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Vinales significantly improved their lap times.

Espargaro moved up into 10th position on the first two days of combined times with a lap of 2:01.344; which was just over 800ths-of-a-second quicker than Wednesday’s time of 2:02.225. Vinales made even greater improvements aboard his factory GSX-RR, lapping 1.24 seconds-faster and posting a time of 2:01.916 around the 5.543km circuit; placing him 15th overall in the rankings.

Today’s test was held in sunny conditions with air temperatures of 31.9C and track temperatures reaching 52.5C. Tomorrow, SUZUKI MotoGP will continue to evaluate the new settings on the GSX-RRs and plan a full-race simulation testing.

Davide Brivio – Team Manager:

“We are quite happy today because we did a lot of work and achieved much progress, plus we are quite satisfied that both our riders managed so many laps. Aleix tried different types of settings and worked more on the electronics-settings while Maverick made a big improvement on his lap-times as he tried different riding styles and improved. It’s also important that we started to understand more about the bike now from the data we have acquired from our riders. There’s still a lot to do, of course, but it is positive so far for both as they are still continuing the learning-process. We are trying to optimise the package and find the strongest points to prepare for the season ahead.”

Aleix Espargaro:

“I’m happy with the improvements made since yesterday as we closed half-a-second closer to the fast guys compared to the lap-times yesterday; which gives me great confidence that we are working in the right direction. We have a good set-up with the geometry of the bike and I’m getting more-used to being faster and more competitive with my new bike, so we are very happy and really looking forward tomorrow. We still need to work more with TC and rear-grip as these are the main issues right now, but I think that the time we did today was quite competitive.”

Maverick Vinales:

“Today I attempted to try several different lines and also tried different riding styles to try to find which is the best and at the end of the session, I made a good lap, so I’m quite satisfied with the job done today. It’s rather important for me now to improve the lap times, and even step-by-step, I can feel that we are going in the right direction. I’m sure that I can improve a lot more if I have more laps and gain more experience; so I’m really keen to do as many laps as possible. We will try to make one long run tomorrow, but the primary plan is just like today; go step-by-step and target the best lap-time at the end of the day.”

SUZUKI MotoGP concludes its first test of 2015 tomorrow and will return to the Sepang International Circuit at the end of the month for a further four-days of testing in preparation for the opening round of the MotoGP World Championship at Losail, Qatar on March 29th.

Sepang Day 1 & 2 Combined Times: 1 Jorge Lorenzo (Yamaha) 1:59.963, 2 Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati) 2:00.015, 3 Marc Marquez (Honda) 2:00.146, 4 Dani Pedrosa (Honda) 2:00.260, 5 Valentino Rossi (Yamaha) 2:00.380, 6 Andrea Iannone (Ducati) 2:00.391. 10 Aleix Espargaro (SUZUKI MotoGP) 2:01.344. 15 Maverick Vinales (SUZUKI MotoGP) 2:01.916.

SUZUKI MOTOGP BEGINS 2015 TESTING AT SEPANG

 


SUZUKI MotoGP begins 2015 pre-season tests at Sepang in Malaysia next week in preparation for its return to the premier class of motorcycle racing at Losail, Qatar on March 29th.
Despite a forced winter testing ban, new team riders Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Vinales, plus Suzuki’s factory technicians, have been hard at work training and continuing development of the 2015 GSX-RR MotoGP machine that the young Spaniards will race in the 18-round series.
The official four-day test at the 5,543m Sepang International Circuit, 60km south of the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur, will see all the 2015 MotoGP factory teams together on track for the first time between February 4-7th; and the first opportunity for Espargaro and Vinales to evaluate the new developments made to the GSX-RR at Suzuki’s development centre in Ryuyo in Japan since the previous tests in November.

SUZUKI MotoGP Team Manager Davide Brivio said: “We are going to start the first test of the season, it is just another test for us, but the feeling this time is completely different as this is the real preparation for the coming season that starts very soon.
“Going to Sepang we are in the same situation as everybody else as we start to prepare for our first season and of course we are all very excited. We have just finished assembling the new bikes in Japan and we know that our riders can't wait to get back on the bikes as we start this new project and understand where we are at regarding development.”

Espargaro said: “I'm really excited to get back to the track again on my Suzuki. The first tests in Valencia and Jerez last November were good and satisfying so we have basically kept working in the same direction and targeting the first race of the season. We will have lots of hours testing in Malaysia which means that there’s plenty of time to try the new bike and I'm sure that we can be competitive against the other teams and riders.”

Vinales said: “I'm 100% ready to get back in action again and I can't wait to get on the bike in Sepang. I've spent most of my time over the winter riding motocross, cycling and ice racing and I have done whatever I could do to be fit and ready for the first test. I'm confident in my physical condition and I believe that the Suzuki engineers and our team has kept working hard during the winter months; I’m very excited to see the progress made on the bike. I already have a very positive feeling from the tests in November and my expectations for my first MotoGP season with Suzuki are extremely high.”
