bike bikes bit chance engine faster good last machine nice prototype quite rode spend sure test time today
Today I rode the new bike all day and we made some good progress. It was the first time we've had chance to spend a lot of time on the chassis and engine and I went quite a lot faster on it than I did last time here so that's positive. It's still a prototype machine and there are a lot of things we still need to try because it's quite a bit different to my other bike. It would have been nice to test the two bikes back to back but I'm sure we'll get a chance tomorrow.
bit brakes brought corner corners exit forward honda improved moving parts spent stable stuff testing though time today turning
We spent a lot of time working with the new chassis today and testing some improved parts that Honda has brought from Japan. The bike's now really stable on the brakes and turning into the corner is much better, so we're getting there. It's still moving around a bit on the exit of corners and better traction is something we're working on. We're moving forward though and we've still got a lot of stuff to try.

This morning was as hard batting as we've had to do in a test match for a long time.

Our main concern is to reduce mercury. We look at it clearly as a toxic chemical. We've been doing more testing around the state in streams and lakes and fish, and we're finding more of it.
bike factory fast forward found good honda honor japan left looking missing race ready rider riding season seem settings sorted spirit-and-spirituality straight tests track weekend weeks
I'm looking forward to this end part of the season, ... Riding the bike in Japan for a factory Honda rider is a real honour. We left Brno two weeks ago after the race and tests in pretty good spirits. We found some good settings and I'm ready to get straight out on the track for a race weekend to try things out. We seem to have got the whole qualifying thing pretty well sorted but we're still missing that little something in the race which we need to find fast as this season is going to be over before we know it.
achieved corners forward lap machine massive race step test today tried turning worthwhile
It's been a really worthwhile test and we've achieved a lot. We've got the machine much better turning into corners and the Michelin race tyres I tried today were superb. To lap in 1min 57secs on race tyres is a massive step forward and much better than I could have ever expected,
achieved corners fight forward found good improved lap machine massive past race ready riding step suppose test tires today tried turning until wait worthwhile
It's been a really worthwhile test and we've achieved a lot. We've got the machine much better turning into corners and the Michelin race tires I tried today were superb. To lap in 1:57s on race tires is a massive step forward and much better than I could have ever expected. We've improved the machine, found some good tires and I think I've improved my riding as well over these past two days. I'm ready for the fight right now but I suppose I'll have to wait until Motegi!
burn hard inside key needs straight teams thursday work worked
I thought that (Newman) worked hard (on Thursday night) and that is the way that she needs to work and the way the teams needs to work on a day to day basis. What we've got going with (Vincent) is that if you are going to key on her we will burn you inside and you have to play her straight up.

Overall, I'm happy with the way it felt. There were a few places that I was faster, but I didn't get it done. I'll keep working on it.
