At 10 o'clock on the dot Axel Bassani's adventure with the Bimota began. As soon as the green light went off, the rider from the Veneto immediately took to the track with the BK998, notching up a few laps. His best lap so far is 1'39"690, which is one tenth slower than what Alvaro Bautista did yesterday (1'39"567).
Of course, we are only at the beginning and we have to keep our feet firmly on the ground. The fact remains that Bassani's first outing with the Bimota has certainly brought a smile to the Feltre rider's face. HERE the live update to follow the second day of testing in Jerez.
