Kawasaki’s official World Superbike team with Tom Sykes and Joan Lascorz weren’t the only Kawasaki’s at Valencia for a two day test, but privateer Pedercini Kawasaki team was also present at the Ricardo Tormo circuit.
With Roberto Rolfo moving back to Moto2 next season, the Italian team had their Superstock 1000 rider Tati Mercado testing the ZX-10R Superbike spec machine, which could mean that they could be thinking of moving the Argentinian to the more prestigious Superbike championship next season.
Pedercini also brought their Superstock rider Bryan Staring.
The Australian worked on the suspension and chassis settings of his Superstock Kawasaki bike that he used during this year’s Superstock 1000 FIM Cup.
The team has yet to confirm if Mark Aitchison will be back with them in 2012.
“These two day of testing for me were very positive and as a first test, I think it went very well.
I really enjoyed riding the bike as this was my first real experience of a superbike.
My Kawasaki is powerful and fantastic to ride.
Every time I entered into the circuit I improved my riding style to better suit the bike.
Of course we have now a lot of areas to improve with the overall bike set up and with my riding style, but I think these two days here in Valencia have taught me a lot.
I enjoy working with my team and I look forward to test again next year, before the beginning of the Championship,” said Tati MercadoWhile Bryan Staring said, “I am happy because the tests went well.
We didn’t have any notable problems and the test gave us a very good feeling and we know how we can improve it even more.
We got some things really worked out for this test and we have improved the bike quite a bit, the whole package.
I learned some more things about the Ninja ZX-10R over these days, all good things.
I am also happy with the way we are working in the team.
