Pirelli is always developing new solutions to improve the performance of its tyres. Once again the development teams carried out a two days test in order to evaluate the new solutions brought by Pirelli. This was a job intended to offer not only the best tyres for the race they will dispute in Brno in two weeks time, but also to start developing the new tyres that next winter will be again tested and then will participate to next season races.
The first day of test the track was still dump for the rain of previous days, and the temperature was quite low. Riders tested some new solutions and started to concentrate mainly on the setup of the bike, as Misano has shown that a test can be really helpful to get the bike ready for the race.
Fastest SBK riders were Haga, Bayliss and Toseland, while in SSP the fastest time was set by Parkes, followed by Sofuoglu and Charpentier.
On the second day weather was slightly better, and basically all the riders could improve their lap times setting really good times, although these are strange conditions that is not easy to predict for the race.
