Four World Superbike teams were also present at the Motorland Aragon circuit today for the first of two-day private test (Yamaha’s MotoGP team also joined them at the track searching for better testing weather), but as we know the conditions were cold and wet, not exactly enticing test weather.
The riders did so a handful of laps on the damp track and then decided to sit out the day and wait for tomorrow as the weather forecast says it will be clear and sunny.
Present for the test are Kawasaki’s Tom Sykes and Loris Baz, BMW Motorrad Italia’s Marco Melandri, Chaz Davies and reigning 2012 Superstock champion Sylvain Barrier, Pata Honda’s Jonathan Rea and Leon Haslam e Carlos Checa for the new Team Ducati Alstare (Ayrton Badovini will be joining the team at Jerez later this month before the six week winter testing ban falls in place (December 1st to January 15th).
Also present at Aragon his Honda’s World Supersport team with Michael van der Mark and Lorenzo Zanetti.
