Pramac d'Antin happy with test progress

The second day of testing at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit of Valencia has concluded with good results for the Pramac-d'Antin Team, as seen by both riders, who rode in the top ten. Both Toni Elias and Sylvain Guintoli, took advantage of the day to continue gaining more experience with their new Ducatis

"I'm happy because I improved my times from yesterday and I felt comfortable on the bike," said Elias. "In addition, I went faster then I did on last year's bike and was able to lap very consistently. Still, we have a lot of work to do, but I want to do it, and the Team, also. Now, I'm thinking about the Winter Tests in January and the first race in Qatar. In summary, this is has been a better start than I had hoped."

Sylvain Guintoli commented, "Today I have worked calmly and taken advantage of all the laps to improve and adapt to everything. I lowered my times from yesterday, and I also went faster than I did on the race on Sunday, so for this I'm very happy. I want to repeat that I like the bike and the Team very much and I can't wait for the Winter Tests to continue working and get ready to do well in the first race in Qatar."
