| Leon Camier on Monday launched well in the test |
After the WSBK season is, roughly half weeks left in Magny-Cours to end, the production-based World Cup is now concentrating on the season 2013th On Monday, the first tests began with a full focus on next year and it was a good part of the field gathered in Aragon, to test the latest innovations. In ideal conditions, little - there was a lot of wind and it was cold - could end up securing Leon Camier on the Suzuki is the best time, he came in 1:58.2 minutes to the round up 0.4 seconds ahead of Tom Sykes on the Kawasaki remained strongly renewed, another tenth of a second behind that world champion Max Biaggi was on the Aprilia.
Not move to the side of Camier for Suzuki was Sylvain Guintoli, who despite an established agreement with the team still wanted to check another offer Aprilia and therefore canceled the test. As a result, he was immediately terminated his contract again. In its place now runs the Australian Superbike Champion Josh Waters in Aragon.
Checa on the Panigale quickly
The most important question on Monday was how Carlos Checa would make on the new Ducati Panigale Sun He drove for the first time and saw the machine for her relatively young age of reasonably competitive. Checa took fourth place and was 0.8 seconds behind Camier. The Spaniard could drive similar times as in June on the Ducati 1198R, which is in 2013 no longer approved as homologated machine in WSBK. Should continue the positive impressions, could be an extension Checa Ducati one step closer.
