“It’s been an intense and productive day. We worked a lot on the bike’s geometries. In particular, we focused on two areas: the stability under acceleration while upshifting and the front-end feedback in corner entry. Until one hour to go, I wasn’t particularly satisfied, then we found positive sensations in the last few runs. I’d have liked to try some more modifications to the electronics, but it’s OK. We gathered important indications to improve our performance in the upcoming races.”
