Alice Team wraps up Jerez test

18 February 2008 / Results

Monday was the last day of work at the Jerez de la Frontera circuit for the Alice Team in preparation of the first European MotoGP World Championship round, on the same circuit, on March 30th. Sylvain Guintoli was constantly in the top ten during the day, concluding the session in thirteenth position. Toni Elias, on the other side, was able to ginish fifteenth on his final attempt even if he committed a small mistake. 

Sylvain Guintoli commented, "These three days went well for us, I feel I am making good progress on the bike. Also yesterday's forty minute session went well even if the track conditions weren't the best. I really think that we can think positive for the beginning of the season. We are also improving our rhythm which is very important as the first race in Qatar will be in only twenty days. I am confident, physically I feel ready and I can't wait for the beginning of the 2008 season."

Toni Elias added, "Complicated day for us, we didn't make it to find a good set up of the bike, and I don't really like this final classification. Only at the end of the day things looked better, but it was too late to improve. I made a mistake in the last fast lap, during my best performance, I went long in turn six and I could have finished surely in a better position. But better don't think about it and look ahead, the only way to improve is to work hard and this is what I will do."
