The first test of the 2012 season ended today the two Repsol Honda Team in the first and third. Casey Stoner, reigning World Champion, has set the fastest time and was the only driver to three days off for two minutes, despite missing the first day of back problems.
Only two laps this morning Casey needed to break the barrier of two minutes in the Malaysian track. The Australian Repsol Honda Team has made reference to a best time of 1 minute, 59 seconds and 607 thousandths. Your time has remained unbeaten for the rest of the day, in which the Australian has focused on further refine its Honda RC213V, working primarily with the suspensions and the new Bridgestone tires.
It has generally been a productive first test for the Repsol Honda Team. Completion of these trainings, HRC engineers now return to Japan with the comments of both pilots to continue working on developing the bike back to the second Sepang test three days from 28 February.
Casey Stoner: "It was a good test in general, we could only make two of the three days unfortunately, but has made good time and we have done everything we had planned. Lose the first day of testing has not affected us too , we could try everything we had planned and I think the track conditions were not very good on Tuesday, because it was shot very quickly.
I'm still not perfect in the back, but the bike is going well. We have reduced the chattering and some minor modifications we tested with the rear shock, among other things. So far has been quite positive. Just wait to see what we have for the next test and hopefully we can improve some more. Now I have only wanted to get home to see Adriana and wait for the baby. "
