The Kawasaki WorldSSP team has completed two days of testing at Cremona Circuit, only finishing up a little early due to rain.
Two important days nevertheless, during which the team and its two riders, Jeremy Alcoba and Dominique Aegerter, were finally able to test on a dry track, improve the setup of their Ninja ZX-6R 636 and solve the issues that had prevented the riders from fully expressing themselves and exploiting the potential of their bikes in Australia.
Alcoba and Aegerter tested many new elements and updates with largely positive results, focusing on the electrics and electronics together with the team’s technicians.
The team leaves Cremona pleased with the work completed and confident ahead of the next WorldSSP championship round, which will take place on 27-29 March at the Portimão circuit in Portugal.
Manuel Puccetti
“Though we had to finish up early in the afternoon due to rain, the tests have been very positive and provided us with the opportunity to solve the electrical and electronic problems that arose in Australia. We head to Portimão confident that we can do well and be competitive.”
Jeremy Alcoba
“I’m pleased we tested here at Cremona, a track we struggled at last year. We tested many new things which proved positive and at the same time I improved my feeling with the track, so much so that I was able to match last year’s times despite using harder tyres. We’ve found the direction to take, and this leaves me optimistic for the next Portimão round, but we of course need to keep working because we want to get to the level that we know is within our reach.”
Dominique Aegerter
“Luckly the weather stayed fine for a day and a half. The team brought many new things to Cremona and has worked hard to solve the issues that hindered us in the race in Australia. Yesterday I made about 30 laps, and we focused mainly on the electronics. It was very important to do this test because we finally had time to work on the bike and we are definitely more prepared than we were before Phillip Island, even if there’s still a lot of work to do if we want to achieve the goals we’ve set ourselves.”
