Day 2 of SBK test at Motorland Aragón

The World Superbike Championship has wrapped up the private test of several teams at the Motorland Aragón Circuit, with one clear protagonist: the rain. Fortunately, the second day of testing yesterday allowed riders to head out in dry conditions and ride better, although the "wet" and the rain were very close.

After a first day that was somewhat rained out for the World Superbike riders who were testing and training at the Motorland Aragón Circuit, the second day, held yesterday, was somewhat better, at least in drier conditions on the track.

Therefore, the riders and teams have been able to make more use of these conditions and try out some things on their respective machines, so as to move forward with the work for the 2013 season.

So at least they have been able to carry out some of the work schedule they had planned for these two days at Motorland. The four SBK teams on the track were able to draw some conclusions, and they also got to test in the wet, which always helps. Some of them now have promotional events and visits to EICMA, the Milan motorcycle show, including Carlos Checa, who has been working shoulder to shoulder with his “new” team, Ducati Alstare; meanwhile, the Kawasaki Racing Team riders, Loris Baz and Tom Sykes, were also seen in action, as well as the riders of BMW, Marco Melandri and Chaz Davies, and closing out the positions, the Pata Honda riders, Leon Haslam and Jonathan Rea.

Now the next test will be at the Jerez Circuit from 26 to 27 November, one of the tracks that is new to the 2013 season calendar, and which, together with Motorland Aragón, means we will have two spectacular SBK races at home.

Lots of rain, extreme conditions, few conclusions, but there has certainly been work on track and in the pits.
