It was two days of hard work for ParkinGO Triumph BE1 Racing as the whole team took the track at the "Enzo and Dino Ferrari" circuit. The goal was to continue where they left off and prepare both for the next week's round at Brno and for Imola in September. In this official test, permanent riders Gianluca Nannelli and Garry McCoy were joined by South African Sheridan Morais who only tested in the last of the two scheduled days. Things got complicated due to the hot weather which made the surface very slippery, but the riders finished working on setup as scheduled.

"I found a good feeling with the track and tested different setups for Brno" said McCoy, who was fifth at the end of the two days. "I was very close to the fastest time with race setup, that is until the end of today's session. I went on with the testing in the afternoon and so I couldn't improve my time. All in all it was a good test that will enable us to prepare more easily for the September round at Imola. Obviously, the weather will be much more different than this and we'll have to use a different setup. I didn't like the new corner, I think it's pretty dangerous. As long as you're alone on the track there's no worries, but if someone else made a mistake in the pack, you can barely pass".

"It was nice to return to Imola" said Nannelli, who finished two places behind. "It's a special place for me because on this track I had my first and only win back in 2005. However, I hope to replicate that result with Triumph in September. As far as the test is concerned, we really did a good job even if I went over the top at the beginning. But I did my personal best four laps in a row although I had race tyres on. It was a good test, very useful for the September round when I hope to score a good result".
