The first two-days testing for the Aruba.it Racing – Ducati<\/b> team concluded at the Algarve circuit in Portimao (Portugal) today.<\/p>\n

After a first session dedicated mainly to getting back in touch with their respective Panigale V4R bikes following November’s tests at Jerez de la Frontera (Spain), Alvaro Bautista<\/b> (149 laps completed) and Michael Rinaldi<\/b> (123 laps completed) worked intensively this morning on the set-up, also trying out new technical solutions ahead of the new season that will kick off in early April at the Mortland circuit in Aragon (Spain).<\/p>\n

In the afternoon, Bautista<\/b> tested the new tyres introduced by Pirelli, finishing with a time of 1’40.055 set in the last run with the rear race tire.<\/p>\n

Rinaldi<\/b>, on the other hand, was forced to stop before the end of the session due to a muscular discomfort in his back that prevented him from attempting the time attack. The italian rider ended the two days testing his best time of 1’41.143.<\/p>\n

Nicol\u00f2 Bulega <\/strong>(Aruba.it Racing WSSP) and his PanigaleV2 completed an impressive 122 laps in the two-day test, this morning recording a time of 1’43.876.<\/p>\n

Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati #19)<\/b>
\n“I am very satisfied with these two days of testing. The feeling is already good and I am having a lot of fun. I feel that the experience I have gained over the last few years is helping me. If I have to be honest, I have found myself on the bike better than I expected. We worked a lot on the tyres today, trying out the new solution brought in by Pirelli. I am only sorry for the crash this morning: I made a mistake, luckily without consequences. I can’t wait to be at Misano”. <\/i>   <\/p>\n

Michael Rinaldi (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati #21)<\/b>
\n“It has been a tough two days of testing. On the first day, we lapped without working on the set-up in particular: the feeling was positive, and – with the race tire – we had better results than last year’s race. Today we concentrated on some new solutions without trying to set the lap-time. Unfortunately, because of the pain in my back, I wasn’t able to try the new SCQ brought by Pirelli”.<\/i><\/p>\n

Nicol\u00f2 Bulega (Aruba.it Racing WSSP #11)<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I am very happy. We have worked well: the feeling with the team is very good and the sensations with my PanigaleV2 are really positive. We also managed to set a good time considering the excellent track conditions. It’s clear that there’s still a lot of work to be done, but the road is definitely the right one. I’ve been training well over the winter, physically I feel great and this allows me to concentrate 100% on my work”. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
