MOTOGP SEPANG TEST: GIBERNAU WORKING ON ELECTRONICS ISSUES

Guinea Ecuatorial Ducati rider Sete Gibernau spent day two of the Sepang MotoGP tests working on problems the team is having with electronics on the satellite Desmosedici GP9.

The Spaniard, who is coming out of retirement for the 20009 MotoGP season, set a best time of 2'03.308 which was good enough for 11th place, fractionally behind the factory Ducati of Nicky Hayden.

"We tried to work on both the chassis and the electronics because they are both very important areas with this bike. The programme was pretty clear although on a couple of occasions we lost our way a little – especially with the electronics," said Gibernau.

"Now it’s a case of sitting down and working out why that happened, where we went wrong, and this is the ideal time for that kind of thing. I feel good - it was a positive day’s work because we’ve been able to try a few things for the first time.

"Like everybody we’re trying to work out how to get as much life as we can out of the tyres but like I said the most important thing today was figuring out the electronics.”
