The Pedercini Kawasaki team has spent the last two days on track in Valencia, Spain, to continue its testing schedule started at the Motorland Aragon last week. Warm temperature and dry track surface marked both days of testing at the Ricardo Tormo circuit. Tati Mercado tested the Kawasaki ZX 10R Superbike while Bryan Staring rode the Superstock 1000 Kawasaki bike. Pedercini team is finalizing the lineup for the next Superbike season and they decided to give to Mercado the opportunity to test the Kawasaki ZX-10R Superbike version. The young Argentinian rider started to work on the Ninja Superbike in good form making significant gains in terms of the machine’s overall performance and building up confidence with his new bike. He leaves Valencia in a positive frame of mind. Pedercini took in Spain also Superstock rider Bryan Staring. Staring used the time to continues to develop the Kawasaki bike he used during this year’s Superstock 1000 FIM Cup. Bryan spent both days of testing working on the suspension and chassis settings of his Kawasaki ZX-10R. Further tests will probably be scheduled after the winter break to arrive in a competitive shape for the first round of the 2012 SBK Championship in Australia at the end of February. Tati Mercado : These two day of testing for me were very positive and as a first test, I think it went very well. I really enjoyed riding the bike as this was my first real experience of a superbike. My Kawasaki is powerful and fantastic to ride. Every time I entered into the circuit I improved my riding style to better suit the bike. Of course we have now a lot of areas to improve with the overall bike set up and with my riding style, but I think these two days here in Valencia have taught me a lot. I enjoy working with my team and I look forward to test again next year, before the beginning of the Championship”. Bryan Staring :”I am happy because the tests went well. We didn’t have any notable problems and the test gave us a very good feeling and we know how we can improve it even more. We got some things really worked out for this test and we have improved the bike quite a bit, the whole package. I learned some more things about the Ninja ZX-10R over these days, all good things. I am also happy with the way we are working in the team.
