/// MIKE DI MEGLIO:

“I have a good pace and now I just have to improve my fast lap”

“I am happy with how this test went. It took us a while to catch up and set a good pace but we worked hard and finally we got there. We also found a good base set-up. During these days we tested different forks and tyres and we already have a clear idea which way to go at the next official test. This year’s bike has many improvements and it was very interesting to work to try to get the most out of them. I have a good pace and now I just have to improve my fast lap. This season everything will be very close again. I am really looking forward to the next tests.”
