Hello to all the Box Repsol fans!<\/p>\n

As you know one of the team’s tasks is to try out new parts and components<\/strong>, so several tests are carried out. Do you want to know what it is that we do on a test day? Keep reading!<\/p>\n

When planning a test, the first thing we need to know is where it is going to take place. The best circuits are those where the motorbike is least competitive<\/strong> and have many different types of turns to thoroughly test the equipment.<\/p>\n

Since 2019 there are be no more private training sessions. We keep attending the general tests that the IRTA schedules<\/strong>\u00a0that all teams can attend.<\/p>\n

There is a lot less pressure during a test than in a GP, but don\u2019t think we stand there twiddling our thumbs. Our mentality and professionalism is just the same<\/strong>. The main difference is that there is no time limit to test the tyres, suspension, and other adjustments that are important in a race.<\/p>\n

In a test lap we don’t think so much about winning as drawing conclusions, be they positive or negative, and we dedicate all this time to exploring different possibilities. Going fast isn’t the most important goal; it’s understanding whether the element being tested will improve or worsen our performance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
