Better final day for Alice
01 February 2008 / Results / PhotosThe Alice Team riders Toni Elias and Sylvain Guintoli sensibly improved theirs best lap time in the last day of winter testing on the Phillip Island circuit. Since the first laps both riders have registered interesting performances. In the final hours of the day, both Toni and Sylvan, have tried some qualifying Bridgestone tyres that allowed them to improve their respective best lap time even more. The Alice Team leaves the Australian circuit satisfied of the work done, ready for the IRTA Test in Jerez de la Frontera which will be next February 16th, 17th and 18th.
"We have improved overall. We are not totally ready yet, but after three days of work we'll go back to Europe happy of the results achieved," said Toni Elias. "We have found the right way to follow and we must keep to work hard. In the first part of the day we worked on the chassis of the bike making some adjustments and at the end we found a good compromise. In the afternoon I also tried some qualifying tyres and I have to admit that I was pleased with how I felt on it."
Sylvain Guintoli commented, "The day has begun in the right direction for us. After just a few laps I sensibly improved my best lap time obtained yesterday. We were really fast. We tried many tyres solutions and I found a front tyre which I really liked. Today we have taken a further step forward and we have to continue this way. In my best lap time with qualifying tyres I have done well, maybe I could push a bit more, but I preferred to don't risk to make any sort of mistakes."
