WSS’09 winter test On the Spanish track of Almeria, Triumph Be1 Racing team has finished today the first two-days of testing for the season 2009. The testing has been helpful to collect the first data from the Daytona 675 developments, as well it allows the latest signing Gianluca Nannelli to get some confidence with the bike in 2009 trim. On the other hand Garry McCoy could not take part to the test on the Spanish track due to the Christmas holidays he is spending in Australia. He will start to run beside his team mate from January, when the team will be on the Valencia track in order to carry on the work. Gianluca Nannelli/Daytona 675: “It has been a useful testing in order to begin to get some feeling with the bike. We did a lot of laps by using several different setting, and that kind of job helped me to understand the reactions of the bike when I change something in the set-up. My first impression is excellent and this kind of engine suits my riding style very well. So the first step is more than good and we also recorded quick times”. Lucio Nicastro/team coordinator: “In this testing we have worked on a hybrid bike, mixing the 2008 settings and the 2009 new ones. We have started to test some new elements and we verified the efficiency of the gear upgrade. Nannelli was able to work at 100% for the whole two days thank to an excellent weather and a nice road temperature, between 54°F and 86°F. He showed to have already found a good feeling with the bike and he gave the team useful indication which will be important for our work before taking back to the track at Valencia on the beginning of the new year”.
