More progress at Brno
08-07-2008
It's been another day of progress for StoneBaker Racing on the second part of their three-day test at the circuit of Brno in the Czech Republic.
Riders Gino Rea and Dan Linfoot both completed six sessions. Due to the rain yesterday, the track this morning was quite dusty and slippery but as more riders took to the circuit the dirt was blown away and grip levels improved substantially during the afternoon.
Gino Rea rode his Superstock machine throughout the day and concentrated on fine-tuning his suspension settings. Dan Linfoot rode the squad's Supersport machine for his first two sessions, adapting very quickly to the traction control system, before reverting to his Superstock bike and making gearing alterations.
The former teenager from Yorkshire turned 20 today and the team celebrated with a barbecue in the evening.
Both riders are keen to up their pace tomorrow but with mixed forecasts predicting both sunshine and showers at the track on Wednesday, the weather will need to play its part in the proceedings too.
