1. test Aprilia 125 GP - Magione 15.5.2009
15.05.2009
It did not take a long time from signing the official contract and Mira was invited to the first one day testing of Aprilia 125 GP, held on 15.5.2009 on the circuit Magione, nearby Perugia, Italy. Initial respect, which Mira had from fast Aprilia GP (which is twice much stronger than till now ridden Metrakit 125 PRE GP), were revealing in the morning. In the afternoon the cutting edge came and the problems which Mira faced (not precise changing gears, braking points evaluation in higher speed before curve and precise adding throttle when leaving the curves) were disappearing. Mira started to push the times down by every lap. However the goal of this getting known training was not to achieve a record of the lap, but getting known with the motorbike and own abilities. Before the end of the training day were Mara’s times on a better average level, which for the first time on the new motorbike was more than good. According to team owner’s comments “perfecto” (he was very pleased with Mira´s performance). Now both sides are looking forward to another testing, where Mira will do his best to get known the behavior of Aprilia GP. There is a very friendly atmosphere among the team, which is very important for working of both sides on becoming the best results.
