Two-day test at Jerez draws to a close as Honda WorldSBK Team debuts new Fireblade

The #honda #worldsbk Team has completed today the first private test of 2017 at Circuito de #jerez in southern Spain. Official #honda riders #nickyhayden and #stefanbradl were able to try for the first time the WorldSBK-spec version of the brand-new #honda CBR1000RR Fireblade SP2 they will use throughout the 2017 edition of the FIM Superbike World Championship.

Blessed by good weather conditions – despite cold temperatures in the morning – the test proved very useful for Hayden and Bradl, who were able to put in a considerable amount of laps. Both riders worked hard with their crews over the two days while trying to get an early understanding of the new package, before making some first set-up changes.

On the final day, the team successfully put to test the performance of the bike with qualifying tyres, with Hayden finishing as the sixth quickest rider of the test and Bradl being only three tenths of a second slower than his team mate.

The #honda #worldsbk Team will be back on track this weekend at Portimão’s Autodromo do Algarve with another two-day test, the last one before travelling to Phillip Island for the traditional World Superbike official test and the opening round of the season.
