| Tom Sykes finished the first test in 2013 with fastest time |
"Fastest recovery and that's all well and good, but right now is not the goal. Our goal is to improve what we have done this year on the bike and we have done here, so I'm happy overall," concluded Sykes who could at Motorland collect much data. "We have planned more tests, so we will continue to work in a good direction. It seems that Pirelli would have done with the 17-inch tires, a good job, so we definitely have a good starting point."
Leon Camier landed after his fastest time on the first day finally in third place, followed by Eugene Laverty. Michel Fabrizio rode for the first time at the Red Devils Roma Aprilia, finishing fifth against Loris Baz, who after his big crash at Magny-Cours was still not always 100 per cent fit. "We have tried many things and I like the 17-inch tires, what is most important to prepare for next year. I am really happy after the test," the Frenchman was pleased anyway.
Carlos Checa was able to improve his time in the afternoon and not landed in seventh place. The new Panigale 1199RS the Spaniard lost to the morning, however, almost the complete start-finish straight oil, which resulted in a prolonged interruption. Then the pilots fought with a strong headwind.
Davide Giugliano drove the eighth fastest time, while Aprilia test rider Alex Hofmann was with 2.9 seconds behind Sykes ninth. Josh Waters, the trial took the second Suzuki alongside Camier, lost just two tenths of a less than Hofmann.
