From Mugello the Suzuki team flew to Valencia, where Maverick Vinales and Aleix Espargarò were kept busy during two days of testing. The aim was to improve the traction of the GSX-RR with Japan sending over two different chassis specifications as well as some electronic updates.
The good weather conditioned allowed them to complete the scheduled work and initial feedback has been positive.
“We needed to find more efficiency with the traction and we also worked for many other improvements - explained Vinales - The Suzuki factory sent us many pieces to test so we tried some improvements in the chassis and also many set-up configurations. It was a positive test, we had a great deal of feedback that will be useful for the future to determine the paths to take. The GSX-RR is already a very good machine in certain areas; like the fast corners and its agility, but lacks in some other areas. We are working to find a good balance and be more and more performing.”
Aleix Espargarò added: We are still in the development process and we need to grow as fast as possible. Here we had many things to test as the Factory is working very hard to give us all its support. We had two different steps on the chassis and one of them gave me very positive feeling, so we have made another step forward. Of course we need to further investigate our options; in Barcelona we will continue this work, but it is very positive that we have this support and we are consistently improving".
