The pilot team Kawasaki DMC-Lorenzini Vladimir Ivanov, who kicks this season in the world championship, shared his impressions from the last pre-season test of the Supersport class in Australia. Today, the second day of tests, Vladimir Ivanov was able to demonstrate significant progress: if yesterday the Russian pilot 1'36. 152 corresponded to the 21st line of the table of results, today it is 13 the result, with a lap time of 1'34. 687.

That helped the pilot Kawsaki DMC-Lorenzini to accelerate, said Vladimir Ivanov: Everything is super, the decor is great. Today we put some new tires. Your best lap I was held during the fifth exit after lunch. Yesterday was very hot, burning feet when driving - not so felt, and when to call in the boxes - just kapets. Yesterday we tried only hard rubber, went and tried to find some settings, tried to roll, but it was somehow vyalenko, and today began to ride on soft tires, and the situation has completely changed, and I began to accelerate. At the first session we spent a lot, 4 sets of new Pirelli tires. With each trip I was able to sprint faster and added-up, we tighten up the suspension, podmahivala, and I liked it more and more, then on the second session we continued in the same spirit, tried several options, approved the fact that we were going in the right direction, and put another set of new tires, I tried to vlupit, drove 4 laps of 35 - 34,8. . . 34,9. . . 34,7. . . 35. 0. . . Stable five laps passed with a good time. I'm personally happy with it, that's my record for this route, and although I am not yet used to the bike, it's still a good result, and I'm looking at this season with eyes wide open.

The Manager of the team Kawasaki DMC-Lorenzini Sergei Glagolev noted: We are very pleased with the results of tests from the very beginning everything went according to plan. Moving step by step, all the tasks were implemented, and our pilots accelerated. Once all the settings to find it did not work, it is clear that there are a lot of tasks in addition to Philip island changed the coating. Compare each between them would be wrong. Kev had his own style, Vova your, Sofuoglu your. However, pilots will not rested, if the weather will remain good, then definitely they will continue to speed up.

Note that the companion Vladimir Ivanov command Kev Coghlan completed the second day of testing at Phillip island with a lap time close to the time Volodya - 1'34. 881. Interestingly, both pilots today, dashed off on 61 circle.

Tomorrow pilots Kawasaki DMC-Lorenzinni will conduct remedial training, then make a small break before the upcoming race weekend and visit local attractions.
