On Sunday, the British rider had lapped in 1′ 58.

BMW Motorrad rider Marco Melandri tested new swing-arm and suspension link, which gave the Italian rider some very positive feedback and eliminated the chatter that he had at Phillip Island, he tweeted, “Everything ready for Imola battle!

Take care baby!!!” while Leon Haslam tried out a new spec engine and set his best time on soft tires and on his Twitter page @realleonhaslam wrote, “All done a good 2 day test my foot is still attached and made some good progress.
” Aprilia’s Max Biaggi set his best time during the morning session continuing to test the new evo-spec engine that will be used at Monza, which let him hit a top speed of 337 km/h, but cut short his afternoon session deciding that the asphalt was too cold, “Testing in Aragon done.

I’ll use it In Monza only.
