Haslam ready to race but has 'avenues to explore'

Britain's Leon Haslam believes he is ready to start the 2021 WorldSBK season but still has some setup avenues to explore after testing at Aragon.

Haslam put in a day's work at the Spanish track split over a 48-hour period and says he and the team made good steps with some more new parts flown in from Japan.

"Day one was a bit tough as we worked a lot in the garage and didn’t manage to make many laps over the course of the day, while this afternoon we got a lot of laps under our belt, which was great," said Haslam.

:So although we lost some time yesterday, we were definitely able to made up for this today. We had a lot to get through, but I think we’ve made very good steps with all the items we had to test here. Our consistency has improved, and that was a priority for us.

"The lap times were good also considering the high temperatures, so I’m pretty happy with that and, like I say, the consistency has been better. We have some more areas to explore, but what we’ve done here has all been very positive.

"Although we haven’t had as much test time at this track as other teams, I think we’re close. Now all we have to do is switch our mindset and get into race mode rather than test mode. I’m looking forward to the first races.”
