The second day of the three day test at Sepang saw Yamaha Factory Racing riders Ben Spies and Jorge Lorenzo again testing in sweltering conditions with track temperatures soaring through the day. Despite the heat it was straight down to business, both riders breaking under the 2’01” marker swiftly. Texan factory newcomer Spies again spent another day delivering smooth fast laps, finding some extra grip on track through chassis changes. He suffered a small crash at the end of the afternoon session at turn seven but was unhurt and upbeat about his day. At the end of the test Spies stood fourth in the timesheets, 0.653s behind the leader Casey Stoner.
Team mate Lorenzo took the opportunity of today's sessions to re-confirm some setting changes, as with Spies, the Mallorcan World Champion was consistently quick and running under the 2’01” mark for the majority of the day. Lorenzo wrapped up this afternoon in fifth position just 0.760s from the top of the timesheet.
Ben Spies, 4th:
"I think we had a really successful day, we tried a little bit of a different chassis set up to try and improve the rear grip and we definitely succeeded in that. We did a few long runs and were quite fast on a hot track so it has been really productive finding how to be consistent in the heat. It's a pity I made a small mistake at the end of the day however I think we've gained a lot, especially with the rear grip of the bike."
Jorge Lorenzo, 5th:
"It was a hard and hot day today, we tried the test bike as well as my 2011 bike to reconfirm a number of new developments. We confirmed that the direction is right so we will continue tomorrow with this direction on my M1. We've definitely improved the traction a lot, although we could still do with some more power."
