Lanzi goes quickest on day 1 of SBK testing in Qatar


Sunday saw the first day of testing at the Losail Circuit in Qatar, with ten of the 28 permanent riders taking part in this year’s championship out on track. On a scorching hot but windy day (air 32°, track 41° C) Lorenzo Lanzi powered to the quickest time on his RG Ducati 1098, the Italian showing that he has already reached a good feeling with his new twin-cylinder machine. The two Sterilgarda Go Eleven riders were next up, Ruben Xaus proving to be slightly quicker than Max Biaggi with second and third quickest times respectively. All riders were on Pirelli’s 2007 tyres. It was a difficult day for the Kawasaki PSG-1 team after one of their crates was damaged in transit, leaving three engines unusable. Régis Laconi and Makoto Tamada were only able to do a few laps each and no times were recorded.
