Rizla Suzuki Completes Successful Test
01 February 2008
THE Rizla Suzuki British Superbike team completed its third and final day of a hugely productive private test at the Spanish circuit of Calafat today. High winds stopped the riders, Tom Sykes and Atsushi Watanabe, bettering their pace from yesterday but they still made progress with the GSX-R1000K8’s. Sykes completed 59 laps on track running a consistently fast pace. He worked his way through a number of shock absorber specifications and chassis geometry changes. Although no slouch off the start line, Sykes also spent time practicing his starts and getting used to the launch control on his Rizla Suzuki.

Rizla Suzuki’s Cal Crutchlow and Chris Walker finished their first test of 2007 at Calafat in Spain in confident mood and not even the rain that stopped the action halfway through the final day could dampen their spirits.
