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.....

SEPANG TEST DAY 1

Sepang Test Day 1.

After a long time of silence MotoGP back on the engines and begins to get serious.

All riders in the premier class at the Malaysian track for these three days of intense testing, our riders Espargaro and Vinales find their team and so much material to be tested, the new bike with the new seamless gearbox, new electronics, and Michelin tires.

The day was full and the good weather favor the job and both drivers make several laps not to look for pure performance, but to check the basis of the new bike comparing it to 2015 also present her in the box.

First impressions of the two drivers are very good, they are happy with the first impression of the new bike and pleasantly surprised by the new gearbox still be refined, but with a big margin of improvement in OA, the same argument concerning the electronics and the new engine with more power available and performance well above the previous season, speech instead applies to all drivers are the new Michelin tires for all new and much improved compared to the last test, however, the general view is that there has been a lot of work by Suzuki to make a step further and actually give the possibility to obtain results that count.

Over the next two days the work will still be on taking data and the various tests of new pieces brought to the two drivers, hoping that maybe in the third day audition also to seek the lap time.

Today the best was Jorge Lorenzo with a time of 2.00.684 Espargaro in ninth position with 2.02.539 and Vinales in 11 position with 2.02.645.

To be reckoned with in these tests will also be Stoner who still try his Ducati in the next two days ..... its time 2:02 .... did on the day of his return can put fear in many drivers.

Test Sepang Giorno 1.

Dopo tanto tempo di silenzio la MotoGp riaccende i motori e comincia a fare sul serio.

Tutti i piloti della classe regina sul tracciato malese per questa tre giorni intensa di test,i nostri piloti Espargarò e Vinales ritrovano il loro Team e tantissimo materiale da provare,la nuova moto con il nuovo cambio seamless,nuova elettronica,e gomme Michelin.

La giornata è stata piena ed il meteo buono favoriscono il lavoro ed entrambi i piloti effettuano parecchi giri non per cercare la prestazione pura ma per verificare la base della nuova moto paragonandola alla 2015 presente anche lei nel box.

Le prime impressioni dei due piloti sono molto buone,sono contenti della prima impressione della nuova moto e piacevolmente stupiti dal nuovo cambio ancora da affinare ma con grande margine di migioramento,stesso discorso per quanto riguarda l'elettronica ed il nuovo motore con più potenza disponibile e prestazioni nettamente superiori alla passata stagione,discorso che invece vale per tutti i piloti sono le nuove gomme Michelin,nuove per tutti e molto migliorate rispetto all'ultimo test,comunque la visione generale è che ci sia stato un grosso lavoro da parte di Suzuki per fare un ulteriore passo in avanti e dare realmente la possibilità di ottenere risultati che contano.

Nei prossimi due giorni il lavoro sarà ancora sulla presa dei dati e sulle varie prove dei nuovi pezzi portati per i due piloti,sperando che magari nel terzo giorno provino anche a cercare il tempo sul giro.

Oggi il migliore è stato Jorge lorenzo con il tempo di 2.00.684 Espargarò in 9 posizione con 2.02.539 e Vinales in 11 posizione con 2.02.645.

Da non sottovalutare in questi test sarà anche Stoner che proverà ancora la sua Ducati nelle prossime due giornate.....il suo tempo 2.02.... fatto nel giorno del suo ritorno può mettere paura a molti piloti.

ALREADY MARKET DRIVERS

We aftermath of winter testing, the MotoGP prepares to restart the engines and put them on the field all the news for winning the season title today in the box there was the classic photo session of the pilots and the new bike but that that is holding forth is already the market drivers.
That's right, we are not yet out on track and already talking about pilots for next season where all the best drivers will be free to look around and Suzuki Pearl that many houses want is Maverick Vinales, the Talented pilot after the past season of acclimatization to the premier class and having proven to be there and be able to tell her, many think Team to him to replace any one of their top riders at the start.
His talent is crystal clear before the eyes of all, every time I came into the track showed something extra giving idea to have great room for improvement.
The mission of Suzuki will also be to try to keep it as long as possible because they know that in addition to Aleix to aim high need a strong rider and now Suzuki there are two very strong riders, but the competition is sure to be fierce and they will do anything to try to get him.

E GIA MERCATO PILOTI
Siamo all'indomani dei test invernali ,la #MotoGp si prepara a riaccendere i motori e mettere sul campo tutte le loro novità  per la conquista del titolo stagionale,oggi nel Box c'è stata la classica sessione fotografica dei piloti e la nuova moto ma quello che tiene banco è gia il mercato piloti.
Proprio cosi,ancora non siamo scesi in pista e gia si parla di piloti per la prossima stagione dove tutti i migliori piloti saranno liberi di guardarsi attorno ed in #Suzuki la perla che molte case vogliono è Maverick #Vinales,il Talentuoso pilota dopo aver fatto la passata stagione di ambientamento alla classe regina e avendo dimostrato di starci e poter dire la sua,molti Team pensano proprio a lui per sostituire uno dei loro eventuali piloti di punta in partenza.
Il suo talento cristallino è sotto gli occhi di tutti,ogni volta che è entrato in pista dimostrava  sempre qualcosa in più dando idea di avere grandi margini di miglioramento.
La missione di Suzuki sarà anche quella di provare a tenerselo il più a lungo possibile perchè sanno bene che oltre ad Aleix per puntare in alto serve un pilota forte ed ora in Suzuki ci sono due piloti molto forti, ma la concorrenza sarà di sicuro spietata e faranno di tutto per cercare di prenderlo.

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.”
