Baldassarri and Team Go Eleven confirmed their place inside the top positions\u00a0at the end of the second and final day of testing at Phillip Island. Fifth place in the morning session, improved with an incredible third-place\u00a0after the checkered flag in FP4. Excellent pace, a feeling with the bike that improved lap after lap, and good explosiveness on new tyres.<\/p>\n
On the second day, the team focused more on understanding the behaviour of the Pirelli 922 rear tyre, which will be used during the race weekend, keeping the SC 1 as a time attack tyre. After a Day 1 focused on gaining confidence, on Day 2 the technicians worked on the bike’s geometry. Each change resulted in a clear improvement, reaching a best laptime of 1:29.4, eight tenths better than Monday’s best time.<\/p>\n
Free Practice 3: In FP4, the “race-ready” bike went on\u00a0track for a shakedown, ensuring everything was working well. The work schedule then went on, comparing the geometry\u00a0heights of the V4RS, finding a good compromise between turning and stability at the end of the session. Keeping\u00a0a top-five finish throughout the session with several fast laps, Balda then impressed in the final time attack, improving his best despite a slower track and a not perfect lap.<\/p>\n Free Practice 4: An incredibly positive two-day of testing for Team Go Eleven, who arrived at Phillip Island without any lap in dry conditions, but immediately found an excellent rider-bike balance, allowing them to get most of their winter work done in just a few sessions. In testing, standing\u00a0doesn’t matter, but starting at the front certainly gives the whole team a good feeling. Now let’s\u00a0keep\u00a0heads down, take the positives, and return to the track on Friday ready to improve even further. These tests were, to say the least, amazing!<\/p>\n
