We arrived the day before the first test to meet the team and get familiar with the bike. </span></p> <p align="left"><span style="font-size: 8pt">Using Pirelli tyres which i have never used and on a very&nbsp; technical track i didn&#39;t know with a bike i have not ridden i took it easy on the first session, just to get used to everything. We had slight problems with the rear sliding and squirming coming out of corners. I got along with the team fine and we all worked well together. The bike felt good and i couldn&#39;t wait to get out the next day to try and get my times down. </span></p> <p align="left"><span style="font-size: 8pt">Each day we changed suspension settings and changed suspension springs to get a setting i liked. After a couple of days i got down to a 1min 43.4 lap, which was only 2.5 seconds off the 600cc Superstock&nbsp; lap record set last month by Xerox Ducati (1min 40.9) and only 1 second off last years lap record set by Simeon (2006 European Superstock 600cc Champion! 1min 42.) As i got faster and faster we changed suspension settings accordingly, of course, all of this being new to me.</span></p> <p align="left"><span style="font-size: 8pt">On the fourth day, i felt we had good settings and a good bike, i went out in the 1000cc group to tag along with some fast riders to get my lap times down. I went out with two 1098 Ducatis and i done my best lap of the week, a <font color="#FF0000">1 min 41.7! </font>Faster than the 2005 lap record and only 0.8 tenths off the 2006 record by a FULL Factory 600 Ducati team! We felt that this was pretty much like equalizing the record, as we had limited tyres to use, and it was too hot which caused the rear tyre to over heat loosing grip.</span></p> <p align="left"><span style="font-size: 8pt">&nbsp;Overall we had a very successful test and i have gained confidence in the team and the bike and got along well with everyone on the team. Now i cant wait for the first race at Donnington Park, 1st April, See you there!</span></p> <p align="left"><span style="font-size: 8pt">Gino #44</span></p> <p align="left">&nbsp;</p> <hr> </font></td> </tr> </table> </center> </div> <STRONG> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p> <img border="0" src="cartagena/PICT3964 (Large).JPG" width="525" height="325"></p> <p> <img border="0" src="cartagena/PICT3970 (Large).JPG" width="513" height="385"></p> <p> <img border="0" src="cartagena/PICT3988 (Large).JPG" width="554" height="399"></p> <p> <img border="0" src="cartagena/PICT4005 (Large).JPG" width="485" height="363"></p> <p> <img border="0" src="cartagena/PICT4023 (Large).JPG" width="558" height="259"></p> <p> The team race truck</p> <p> <img border="0" src="cartagena/PICT3948 (Large).JPG" width="463" height="363"></p> <p> <img border="0" src="cartagena/PICT4017 (Large).JPG" width="547" height="411"></p> <p> <img border="0" src="cartagena/Copy of PICT3944 (Large).JPG" width="225" height="412">&nbsp; <img border="0" src="cartagena/Copy of PICT3945 (Large).JPG" width="191" height="414"></p> <p> Ginos new race leathers</p> <p> <img border="0" src="cartagena/PICT3952 (Large).JPG" width="418" height="286"></p> <p> <img border="0" src="cartagena/PICT3957 (Large).JPG" width="383" height="284"></p> <p> <img border="0" src="cartagena/PICT3968 (Large).JPG" width="510" height="385"></p> <p> <img border="0" src="cartagena/IMG_9867 (Large).JPG" width="521" height="352"></p> <p>Gino with Kieran Clark and John Laverty</p> <div align="center"> <center> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="63%" id="AutoNumber13"> <tr> <td width="100%" bgcolor="#F5F5F5" colspan="2">&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="41%" bgcolor="#F5F5F5">&nbsp;</td> <td width="59%" bgcolor="#F5F5F5"> <font face="Arial" color="#FF0000"> <img border="0" src="cartagena/Last updates.png" width="250" height="35"></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="41%" bgcolor="#F5F5F5" align="right">&nbsp;</td> <td width="59%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" align="right">&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="41%" bgcolor="#F5F5F5" align="right">&nbsp;</td> <td width="59%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" align="right"> <FONT color=#1e90ff face="Arial"> <iframe name="I1" width="405" height="112" src="home_last__updates.htm" marginwidth="10" border="0" frameborder="0"> Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline frames.</iframe> </FONT> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="41%" bgcolor="#F5F5F5" align="right">&nbsp;</td> <td width="59%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" align="right">&nbsp;</td> </tr> </table> </center> </div> </font></td> </tr> </table> </center> </div> <div align="center" style="width: 729; height: 17"> <center> <p> <font color="#FF0000"> <img border="0" src="botom%20border.jpg" width="728" height="34"></font></p> </center> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </center> </div> <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" width="745" id="table6" height="26"> <tr> <td width="8" height="26">&nbsp;</td> <td width="16" height="26" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <img border="0" src="left.gif" width="16" height="32"></td> <td background="http://images.freewebs.com/Members/Generationz/NewStyles/WavyBlue/links.gif" width="700" height="26"> <p align="center"><font face="Arial" size="1" color="#666666">2007 Gino-Designz-Copyright©</font></p> </td> <td width="21" height="26"> <img border="0" src="http://images.freewebs.com/Members/Generationz/NewStyles/WavyBlue/right.gif" width="14" height="37"></td> </tr> </table> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </center> </div> <!--FreeWebs Counter Code Begin--> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://counters.freewebs.com/Members/Counters/tracker.jsp"> </script> <!--FreeWebs Counter Code End--> </body> </html>
