[GP] Tests saison 2013

A 17h ils sont 5 sous les 1'34", toujours Lorenzo meilleur temps en 33"502, et derrière Marquez 33"750, Crutchlow impressionnant en 33"780, Rossi en 33"858 et Pedrosa en 33"892.

Randy a bien amélioré, presque une seconde, et il est 13ème en 35"097, soit à 1"6 de Lorenzo mais seulement 8 dixièmes derrière la Ducati de Dovizioso (6ème) ou la Honda satellite de Bradl (7ème)

La Suzuki reste cependant dernière des prototypes, et il faudrait gagner 6 dixièmes pour être dans les temps des Bautista, Smith ou Hayden.

Allez Randy !

Fin de la première journée d'essais, et gros coup de massue du leader du championnat, puisque Marquez a claqué un 33"264 impressionnant !

Lorenzo est resté à 33"502 mais Rossi a bien amélioré aussi, finissant 3ème en 33"660, devant Crutchlow (33"780), Bautista (33"877) et Pedrosa (33"892)

Bradl suit en 34"0, puis les Ducati habituelles entre 34"1 et 34"3, SMith en 34"4, Pirro en 34"6 et Randy 13ème en 35"1, soit à 1"8 du temps canon de Marquez.

Comme souvent, c'est Randy qui a accompli le plus de tours (88), et de loin.

A suivre demain, en espérant que Randy parvienne à se rapprocher au moins des Ducati, mais en tout cas la Suzuki n'est pas à la cave, alors qu'elle n'est qu'au tout début de son développement, et c'est bon signe.

 

Je comprend pas le raisonnement Ducati qui prend Hernandez.

Certes un bon pilote, mais ya vraiment pas mieux disponible pour cette marque à la traine ? Pirro ne me parait pas moins bon qu 'Hernandez.

Pareil je ne comprends plus, dépité...  

Le marché Sud américain vaut bien quelques sacrifices...

Ne serait-ce pas à cause du statut de pilote d'essais de Pirro ?

Le classement du testing d'hier.

Pirro doit faire beaucoup de test.... 

normalement c’était De Angelis, mais son manager avait oublie un clause de rupture dans le contrat...

Pour Pirro, c'est Ducati qui ne veut pas l'envoyer faire la tournée Outre-mer car ils en ont besoin pour leurs essais de développement.

Les tests continuent pour Suzuki aujourd'hui et demain

Jarno   as tu des infos sur le testing d'aujourd'hui Randy/Suzuki/Misano ?

Pluie ce matin -> moto restée au box.
En principe c'était Aoki qui devait tourner ce matin, donc il est possible qu'il tourne seul si ça a séché cet après-midi.

Demain il devrait faire beau, et en principe Randy aura les coudées franches en fin de journée pour chasser des chronos  

Pour info, après ces trois d'essais, Suzuki sera au Mugello les 24 et 25 septembre, en compagnie de Ducati, toujours avec l'électronique Mitsubishi.

De Puniet's best lap time on the opening day was a 1'35"097 after completing 74 laps. After a wet Tuesday - when De Puniet did not go out and testing was deputised to long-standing Suzuki Factory Test Rider Aoki - this improved to a 1'34"882 today after 102 laps and many of the revisions employed by the team.

Said De Puniet: "I'm pleased because we have improved our bike throughout this test. The rear-grip has improved and so has the braking stability. We also worked a lot on traction control to adjust to the new engine specifications and I found a better throttle connection and improvement. We also kept a good pace with used tyres, which is very important, and we have also greatly-improved the turning by the end of the test.

"Now it is important to go to Mugello, where we can continue to work on any weak points and try to improve there as well. I'm interested to see how the 'wheeling control and engine brake' will work there as there are few interesting points for that, but having the Mugello test so close, it keeps up in the pace and momentum with the Suzuki MotoGP Test Team programme and development."

25/09/2013

Team Suzuki Press Office - September 25.

The Suzuki MotoGP Test Team has completed a positive two-day test at the Mugello circuit in Italy today with more valuable data and more revised settings to move forward from its 2013 test and development programme.

Following-on from last week's three-day test at Misano, test riders Randy De Puniet and Nobuatsu Aoki appraised and made further improvements to the Suzuki's engine - revised for a better overall top-speed - a redesigned cowling to give a higher top-speed, that showed no negative effects under different circuit conditions, along with the team's newly-elected chassis-design and electronics that both provide better traction control and engine brake.

The new cowling was reported to give a better top-speed performance, so it was an improvement and step-forward from the team's initial test of it in Misano. Back-to-back tests with Misano and Mugello also provided more positive data that the machine has improved its braking and corner-entry characteristics; plus the team also found new direction in finding better rear-grip; an area that the Suzuki MotoGP Test Team will look at further-developing during the next few months - and into 2014.

With track temperatures dry on both days - and ranging between 20-36 Degrees - De Puniet put in 67 laps on the opening day and Aoki 10. De Puniet's best lap was a 1'50.080 on Tuesday and today he improved his best-time to 1'49.260 after a total of 53 laps of the 5,245km circuit.

Said De Puniet: "In these two long days we've worked a lot on the electronic-mapping in different situations. We also understand that we need to work more on rear grip. We expected Mugello being a difficult track and from this test we gave a lot of information to the engineers, which they can now work on.

"I'm a little sad that this was the last test for this season, as I've enjoyed riding this bike and working with the Suzuki Factory Team. I hope I will have more opportunities to ride again in the future and to continue improving this bike."

Suzuki MotoGP Test Team Manager Davide Brivio said: "It was another busy test where we again gave good information to our staff. We had some positive confirmation on a few new parts that we had a chance to test in-depth; such as the new frame, the new engine and the new cowling. Of course we also found points that need to be improved and now we have more information, some further directions - and also some homework to do.

"Randy has helped us a lot, even if at some times we've had to ask him for such a big effort between his regular MotoGP races. I would like to thank Randy very much for his contribution in finding strong and weak points of our project. His comments were - and will be - important for the development work we have ahead of us in the coming months. I would also like to thank the Aspar Team that allowed Randy to be available for this testing activity.

"The team staff was also great and I'm happy that we will continue this testing job together next year as well. Now we go back testing to Japan and looking forward to the next opportunity where we will be again on the track with the other strong MotoGP competitors."

Suzuki MotoGP Project Leader Satoru Terada added: "We concluded today's European testing for this year where we visited several circuits finding the weak points of our bike. A fast rider like Randy helped us on understanding better the level of our machine right now and so we can go back to Japan to look for the solutions. We have several directions where we can work-on now and I'm very pleased that we have been able to run for many miles on-track without any trouble on the bike: This is very positive looking at the future of our racing activity."

Merci Pifou!

C'est sur qu'ils ont un essayeur de luxe qui ne risque pas d'être à 5s des temps des titulaires.

Si, mais c'est dans le topic de la Production Racer...
 
D'ailleurs, je vais y rajouter quelques photos HD.
