SBK | Barcelona test, Bassani: “We need tests to improve”

SBK Test Barcelona Kawaski – Axel Bassani closed the two days of testing on the Barcelona circuit with the sixteenth fastest time.

With a keen eye on the performance of the Pirelli tires and constant work on his bike's set-up, Bassani highlighted both the progress made and the areas where there is still room for improvement. The importance of making the most of each test session to prepare for the upcoming race weekend was emphasised, highlighting the Kawasaki team's methodical approach to pursuing success. With greater confidence at the front but still work to do on the rear in corners, Bassani and his team are preparing to make crucial decisions on the bike's set-up to optimize performance on the track. With the introduction of new tire options by Pirelli, Bassani's attention is now turned to the most suitable choice to maximize the potential of his Kawasaki.

Statements Axel Bassani Barcelona Superbike Test

“Like yesterday we found something towards the end of the session. This is positive because in the end we arrived with a good lap on the race tyre, better than what we had done with the SCQ qualifying tyre. It is important to start here to understand what to do for the next race weekend. We need tests to improve our work and we have done that here. We have found a little more confidence on the front but we also need to work on the rear in corners, given that at the moment we are losing time in the long corners. Pirelli brought new front and rear tires here and I liked the new front tire. I still have to make a choice on the rear."
