It has been a really positive two days. I learned the circuit and it is a very difficult circuit to go fast at, to be fair. It has lots of little intricacies and challenges. From a technical point of view it is very challenging. I enjoyed working it out. On day one I learned the track quite quickly but I wasn’t comfortable to keep pushing the bike. On day two I woke up after sleeping on all my feelings and the data we gathered on day one, and I was able to be quite fast straight away. I carried that rhythm through. We found a lot of valuable information that will be good for race weekend and it will definitely allow us to make a shortcut in our set-up time when we start out in free practice one. This track has some mixtures of everything. Some super-fast corners but also some very tight and twisty sections in sectors two and three. The race is going to be a nice one. The main priority here was to learn and I am looking forward to Donington now for our next race weekend

Jonathan Rea statements before Navarra Test: “I am very curious to try a new circuit and it is always exciting to go somewhere I have never raced at before. As well as the track being new for me it is also new for the team. The test is really important to understand the layout, the gearing, and initial set-up so we can arrive at Navarra for FP1 during race weekend in the best possible shape. We have some new items for our test programme that I have to test for KHI, which is nice to test in the middle of the season to make more steps with the Ninja ZX-10RR. Apart from that I will try to enjoy the riding and get the feeling step by step. The main target of the test is to find a rhythm on the track, so let’s see what the next few days bring.
