Barros happy despite bad weather in Jerez

After the second race of the world Championship 2007, the Team Pramac d'Antin MotoGP, spent one day on the Jerez de la Frontera Circuit, to make some tests. The aim was to find the best setting for the next race in Istanbul, but because of the bad weather conditions, the Pramac d' Antin Riders could only look for the rain setting on their Ducati GP7.

Looking back at his first day of testing at Jerez Barros said: "Despite bad weather, I'm happy for the results we got. It was the first time I tried the Ducati GP7 in the rain and at the beginning I had some troubles. My Team did a good job and finally I succeeded in driving with confidence, and I got the right feeling with this kind of conditions that made me riding fast."

"Today (Monday) we made some job trying two different types of Bridgestone tyres, but we focused manly on the rear. I'm very satisfied because my laptime was good and I'm confident that in case of rain, we have a solid base to start."
