Nakano gets promising first impression at Brno
17 August 2007 / Results / PhotosToday Shinya Nakano and his Konica Minolta Honda team began the hard work needed to analyse their updated Honda RCV212V machines during the first practice sessions for this weekend's Brno MotoGP race. With new parts now online for the Team's 800cc MotoGP bikes, it proved to be a busy day to prepare both machines for today's two practice sessions. Shinya says that the updated Honda RCV shows more potential than the standard machine he's been campaigning so far this year, but now both Team and rider have to find a good base setting to realise that potential in time for Sunday's race.
Shinya Nakano commented on his first day at Brno: "The Team has been so very busy today preparing the new bikes. My first impressions are very good: we now have a bike that's smoother under both acceleration and braking. Unfortunately, after some laps with the good feeling the front-end chattering returned. We've already begun to fix the problem but so far we haven't found the solution. We will be trying lots of different things as this is effectively a new bike and its character is quite different, but today was important as we have now got a lot of data. This machine has much more potential than the standard bike so we have to take things step-by-step."
