BMW Superbike team wraps up another 2 days of testing

Less than a week after their Eastern Creek tests, the BMW Motorrad Motorsport Superbike team wrapped up still another two days of testing, but this time at the Phillip Island circuit.
This latest test session comes before another round of official tests scheduled for February 21-22 and the WSBK season opener that takes place just a week after.

The team is continuing to work on electronics and set-up but unfortunately Troy Corser only had one single on track after a heavy crash left him with some bruising and the team deciding he should skip the second day to rest.
Leon Haslam carried on his testing programme on the BMW S1000RR despite very hot weather conditions:“We were still focusing on electronics and worked on a setup for this race track.
This was important as in three weeks time we are going to have our first races of the season here.
We have already found a good base to work on.
I am happy; we made some good progress.
My lap times were quite good for these hot conditions.
Of course we still have some work to do before the season starts but I am happy with the progress we made so far.

The bike improved a lot in the last month.
I am now travelling to Brisbane with my wife and my trainer.
We are going to spend two weeks training there before flying back to Phillip Island for the official test and the season opener.
I am already looking forward to race again at last.
We now don’t have long to wait until we will find out where everybody stands.
