Davide Giugliano (Lightspeed Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R) did not get the chance to set the kind of lap time he expected to leave his home circuit with, but after two days of testing he made improvements to the set-up of his new-for-2007 machine. The Roman rider, still only 17 years old, was limited in his choice of rubber at the beginning of the test and this contributed to the issues he found with overall machine set-up.
He finished up 18th in the classification, breaking into the 1’41 bracket in the last session with a 1’41.949.
Davide Giugliano: “We began the test with a big problem because we only had two tyres available to us and only one of them worked on our bike. To start with we had to work very hard to get the right set-up and the best grip from the tyre. We were able to improve but it was not the best solution for us - and we saw that in the final lap time.”
