Valentino Rossi took 56 laps and set best lap 1:43.252 on the Catulunya MotoGP test yesterday. Rossi and Ducati were only concentrated on setting configuration. Like the private test before, Rossi tried the aluminium swingarm which claimed could help acceleration, but it triggers too much chatter.
Rossi said, "We didn’t have much new stuff, so we concentrated on testing settings, trying many different configurations. In the end we understood that the setup we settled on for yesterday’s race was really the best one for this track."
He continue, "We tried the aluminium swingarm, which could help us in terms of grip on acceleration, but it triggers too much chatter, as opposed to during the Mugello test, where it proved to be advantageous. It will be interesting to try it again at Aragon on Wednesday.”
