[Video] Suzuki illustrates Phillip Island

After the good performance of Alex Rins during the Australian tests, with the sixth time in the standings over the three days, Suzuki offers a first short video while waiting for a more elaborate version. Let's take this opportunity to focus on the words of the team's Technical Director Ken Kawauchi.

According to the man in charge of developing the GSX-RR, “ This test was different from that of Sepang. In Malaysia, we were able to set a good lap time, but we still had a lot of things to test. Here we had more difficulty with lap times, but the work was very intense and we were able to test many solutions.

“From my point of view it is very important because we can bring a lot of information back to Japan to develop some improvements for the Qatar test and possibly for the race. For this reason, this test was positive. We tried new fairings and they presented some positives and negatives that will need to be analyzed. We also tried different swingarms and settings, finding some important information.

“Andrea struggled a bit here to get a good feeling, but soon we will be able to offer her better settings. I believe he is a very fast driver, so I don't have many concerns for his position in the timesheets. Alex did a good job, very consistent on lap times and often in the top 10, which means he is progressing well and gives us good hope for further improvements. »
