HRC's Alvaro Bautista is still feeling the effects of the chest injury he suffered in a motocross crash but managed to put in useful work during a WorldSBK test at Aragon.
The former world champion sustained a minor but painful chest injury while training in early April which held him back a little but all the vital tests and evaluations were carried out.
"We have tried to make the most of these two days of testing, two half-days to be precise, as we want to leave time to test at the new tracks that are on the calendar this year," said the Spaniard.
"All in all, I'm happy with the feedback I've had from the bike over these two days because even though it's been very hot, we've managed to do a good job, a lot of testing, and we've gathered a lot of information to be more competitive for the start of the championship here at Aragón.
"{Luckily, compared to the Barcelona test, I’ve felt much better physically, but on the other hand I'm still not one hundred percent so after an intense first afternoon of work, today we completed the most important tasks and then we decided to finish up a bit early so as not to compromise my recovery process considering the back-to-back races that await us in a fortnight.
"As I said, I am happy with what we have done and with the feeling I have with the bike and the team, and I am looking forward to the start of the season with confidence and good feelings.”
