BAYLISS (DUCATI INFOSTRADA) HEADS TWO-DAY WSBK TEST AT MISANO ADRIATICO

Troy Bayliss (Ducati Infostrada) headed the timesheets at the Santamonica circuit in Misano Adriatico as all the top World Superbike teams completed two days of testing in preparation for the San Marino Round of the championship on June 21-23.

Just days after his sensational double win at Monza, Bayliss was again in terrific form, and the 33-year-old Australian smashed last year’s circuit record held by Neil Hodgson, setting a 1:34.30 this morning on qualifying tyres.

“This two-day test has gone well” declared Bayliss, “and I’m really pleased with the times we set both yesterday and in today’s long-run. My last lap on race tyres in the long-run, 1:35.3, was quicker than last year’s pole time so things are looking really good. We hardly touched the bike at all, I feel really comfortable with the set-up and although we’ve got a couple more races in between, I can’t wait to get here and race in front of all my Italian fans”.

Ben Bostrom (Ducati L&M) set third quickest time of 1:35.19 during the two day session. “We struggled to get some grip at first but eventually found a tyre that was pretty satisfactory at the end. The bike is pretty close to a good set-up for the Misano race, but we’ve still got a bit more work to do when we come here in June”, declared Bostrom.

Ruben Xaus (Ducati Infostrada) was seventh quickest over the two days with a time of 1:35.99. “I was pleased at the end of today because I finally managed to set a good time. I didn’t manage to do as many laps as the other guys but today the team worked well and we’re looking quite good for the race”.
