Marco Melandri over the moon about his new bike
"The bike seems to suit my riding style very well" he continued "and its compact size allowed me to find a good riding position almost immediately. The testing day was not an easy one, as the weather kept changing the whole time and there were also strong winds. Lap-times were not important, I just wanted to understand the bike and the way of working of the team."
Melandri will be back on track in two weeks at Alcaniz' MotorLand Aragon, for a two-day test that will tell more about the synergy between the rider and his new machine: "The next test will take place at Aragon on November 14-15, I hope the weather will be on our side so I can try both Laverty's and Guintoli's bike configurations, which are quite different. After the test I will decide whether to undergo surgery to remove some malleolus bone fragments from a previous injury, that the doctors found during a recent scan. Anyway I'm so happy of this opportunity and I can't wait to ride the bike again."
