January 25 2009 - Infront Sport Official Test @ Portimao
Team Pedercini's new riders made their debut on Portimao track for a pre-season three days testing. SBK Italian Champion Luca Scassa and the young former WSS Spanish rider David Salom took to the track the Kawasaki ZX 10 R 2009 version. Donato Pedercini declares to be satisfied with the three days of testing although the rain decreased the time at disposal of the teams and wasted all the morning sessions. Anyhow the riders were able to practice hard during the three afternoons and they reached a good basic set-up especially testing the Microtec electronics by which the Team Pedercini is going to equip his machines in the next season.
Luca Scassa | Kawasaki ZX-10R: “The motorbike is really different form the MV Augusta I drove during the last season, but the first touch with the bike is good. I got a good feeling with the machine and we was able to test all the parameters controlled by the electronics, beside some solution for the set-up. I also have immediately found a good feeling with the team and I hope it will grow race by race”.
David Salom | Kawasaki ZX-10R: “I have immediately found an excellent feeling with the bike and I did not suffered the change of category. Great power bikes suit my riding style and I was able to record good times with ease. My goal was to get a good feeling with the bike and I think I've reached it”.
Donato Pedercini | Team Manager: “Even though we did a good job with the electronics I would have had more time in order to start working on the set-up. We also tested a new kind of fork which showed to be forceful although we must work hard on it still. In few days the bike will leave for Australia for the season opening round. We will be back on track for a new test once back in Europe for two days at Valencia”.
