The tests were marred by the weather on day one and day three, but never the less team members Hill and Kagayama were able to make it through vital tests on new suspension and electrical systems on the new 2010 Suzuki GSX.
Worx Crescent Suzuki team member Jack Valentine commented that that it was a successful shakedown, and that they had a bigger team this year with some new people on board; so the tests was a great time to being everyone together and to come together as a team. Valentine also commented on team rider Yukio Kagayama, stating that the tests were an introduction for Yukio to the Crescent bike and Pirelli control tyres that are used in BSB.
Team member Tommy Hill commented that the tests allowed the team to get a lot of the preparatory work that needed to be done completed, taking care of such things as suspension and electronics. He also stated that they had been trying out different clutches and some other kind of engine braking systems; and that it had been a busy time and that he was looking forward to meeting up with other BSB riders at Cartegena.
Team member Yukio Kagayama commented that he was happy to be back with the team and that the three-days worth of tests has been helpful as a prequel to the test at Cartegena.
