The Repsol Honda Team completed its second day of testing at
Motegi today with Nicky Hayden gathering more valuable data
ahead of the final three races of the 2007 season. The Team
continued its evaluation of Michelin’s latest tyre technology along
with further tests of a new fairing and clutch parts. When the
track closed at 4.45pm, Hayden had completed another 89 laps
and shaved his fastest Motegi lap time down to 1m 47.277s – a
useful improvement of 0.617s over yesterday.
After two races on successive weekends, followed by this two-day
test, the hard-working Repsol Honda squad now takes a breath
before its next intercontinental adventure. The back-to-back
Australian and Malaysian Grands Prix take place on October 14
and October 21, with the final race of the season at Valencia,
Spain scheduled for November 4.
