Paul Bird Motorsports Honda har varit på Jerez och testat med Lavilla som dom ska köra med i WSBK. Inga officiella tider mer än att teamet säger att deras egen dataloggning sa att han låg på tider som var samma som Lorenzo Lanzi gjort med sin 1098. 3 dagars test med 200 varv under varierande väder.
Gregorio Lavilla
“This was a very good test to do as it is over two months since I last raced and I am very happy with the way things went. The team, as I expected, is very professional and there is already a great atmosphere so the transition is working well. On the first day, the conditions were OK but it was wet on the second day and very windy on the third day but we worked on a number of areas as well as using Pirelli tyres. We concentrated on set up rather than outright speed and although we still have a lot of work to do, I’m very happy with the progress we have made and to be on the pace of someone like Lanzi already is very encouraging.”
Paul Bird Team Owner:
“I knew it wouldn’t take Greg long to get up to speed and being the world class rider that he is, it’s showing already. He was under no pressure from us to go fast but he’s so hungry having been away for World Superbikes for four years, he really is fired up. He needed time on the bike and that’s what this test gave him and I was particularly impressed with how he adapted to the Pirelli tyres. It’s only two months to the first race so we aim to fit in a lot more testing between now and then.”
