Capirossi busy with tyres
28 June 2007 / Results / PhotosOn Thursday at the TT-circuit Assen Ducati rider Loris Capirossi experimented with different Bridgestone rear slicks - the company's traditional 16.5-inch rear and its newer 16-inch rear - the Italian ending the day setting his best time with the 16.5.
Speaking about his day Capirossi said: "We tested some tyres today but have yet to find what we really want. I tried the 16 but I was lacking rear grip into the corners, especially through the last part of the track. At the end of the afternoon session I tried the 16.5 again, it felt better and I did my best lap at the end, even though the bike settings weren't ideal for the tyre. Seven tenths isn't a small gap but we have a good margin for improvement with the set-up. In general, I feel okay and if tomorrow's weather is similar to today's, we should be make a few changes and go faster."
