Mattia Pasini had a positive debut on the Pramac Racing Desmosedici GP9 Sat on the Brno circuit in Czech Republic. The day of testing started around 9am and concluded at 6pm, but was interrupted by heavy rain for a couple of hours around lunch-time. Mattia Pasini managed an impressive total of 66 laps during the test session. Niccolò Canepa managed to improve his lap times from yesterday’s race.

Paolo Campinoti – Pramac Racing Team Principal
“It’s a pity that rain limited the time at Mattia Pasini’s disposal, otherwise I am convinced that he could have sensibly improved his fastest lap time of the day. Anyway we are satisfied on how things went. We all know how hard it is to jump on a MotoGP bike and get used to it. Sincere compliments to Pasini: he is a guy who never gives up, tenacious and he deserved this opportunity even if we are sorry that he will not be able to ride with us in the next couple of races.”

Niccolò Canepa – Best lap time in 1’58.120
“In these four days at Brno the only day that didn’t go well was the race day. Today things were back to normal and I was riding on good lap times, really close to much more experienced riders than me. It’s a pity because if I would have maintained this rhythm also yesterday I could have fought for much better positions. Now we have some days of relaxation to be back in full shape at Indianapolis, a track that I like really much.”

“First of all I have to thanks Pramac and the Team Principal Paolo Campinoti, Ducati and all the people that allowed me to compete with the best riders in the world today. Thanks so much ! It has been a sensational feeling to go so fast. I went from going 255 km/h on my 250cc yesterday, to over 300 km/h (305 km/h) today on the Ducati Pramac Racing bike. During the morning I had to adjust to the bike, but from the afternoon, after the heavy rain that has unluckily limited our learning procedure, I felt at ease and I could push much more. It is a really spectacular bike to ride with an incredible power. It doesn’t seem so complicated to ride like I heard; on the contrary, it is really comfortable. The biggest different I found compared to my actual bike are the carbon brakes, which have a totally different reaction compared to mine. Overall I am very satisfied on how things went today. Now I will have to concentrate to my 250cc championship as I still have the possibility to aim for the title.”
