"Today we've focussed on evaluating a new chassis on the Ninja ZX-RR, with positive results. This morning I was able to match my lap times on the older bike very quickly, but I think that at this point we are only using around 80% of the potential of the new chassis. With more set-up time tomorrow I hope we can get closer to using 100% of this potential and reduce our lap times as a result. We're also working with a revised electronics package on the bike, which gives us more options for fine-tuning the power delivery characteristics, and again the initial results have been positive. We will continue to work on refining the system over the next two days, and collecting the data necessary for further development back in Japan."
By my calculations that should see lap times down to 105.9 - fark yeah :twisted:

Looks like to me there on the right track in getting better! race pace was in the 1.30 - 1.31 Id say that they would have tested with race tyres due to the amount of laps they have done. The time of Melandri was quicker than Hopper and Ant at race pace.

Still need another second and half to be on podium times though..
