Different from on-board camera of the complete tour directed by Andrea Iannone, this video allows us to collect the reactions of the Suzuki Ecstar team after the tests in Austria.
Positioned immediately behind the official Yamaha team at the end of these tests, the men of Hamamatsu undoubtedly have a card to play...
Maverick Vinales: “For me it was positive because we found a little traction, which was the thing we were looking for. You need power here anyway, and the Ducatis have quite a lot of it; We can still improve a little but I don't know by how much. For sure, my goal will be to get into the Top 6. We need to try to be in the Top 6 and continue our good results. »
Alex Espargaro: “We have seen that the Ducatis are very, very fast. If we compare with the Yamahas, we are not very fast. We have some ideas to improve the bike for the next race, so we now need the summer break and to come back strong, while also waiting for the Hondas because we don't know the potential of the Hondas here. But yes, I am satisfied. »
Davide Brivio: “This test was very positive because it was of course very important to learn the new circuit. This was also a good test because we got to try out a few pieces; we had a different swingarm and different electronic settings to try, as well as different tires for Michelin. We are also always trying to resolve our problems and weaknesses; There's still a bit of a lack of grip at the rear, so we're trying to find settings that work to improve that. We are not bad; I think we're in a pretty good position here. So we're very interested to see what we can do during the race weekend here. This could be a good circuit for us…”
