 MOTOGP TEST – DAY 3
Three days of testing ended today for the D´Antin MotoGP team with warm sunshine allowing Neil Hodgson and Ruben Xaus to continue making progress as they took their respective totals to 187 and 184 laps.

Ruben Xaus stayed on track until it closed, getting his lap time down to 1.34.66: “I think the whole team can feel very positive about this test because we have worked very hard from the first moment. I have gradually got used to the bike and today I tried the 16.5 inch front tyre and loved it. But there is still a lot of work ahead and I am already thinking about the next test. I’m going to stay in Valencia tomorrow and on Sunday I’ll be going to the famous charity marathon organised every year by TV3 which will this year be in aid of asthma sufferers. It is a pleasure for me to be invited.”

Luis D´Antin : “We are all very excited and without doubt this has contributed to the good results. Now we will continue working with the next tests planned for the 10, 11 and 12 January in Sepang, under some very different conditions because it will be a completely new circuit for both our riders.”
