2015 Kirkistown testing

Vipera   2015-04-16   10:10:56

First day - arrival:

Everything is OK! I love what I have been doing for a while - racing! I am still very determined, and the positive events just enlarge this! Yesterday evening was very fine after the long flights. Paul Thompsons' hosted me. We spoke a lot, they are lovely people.
It looks like we ride only afternoon, as it is cold and raining here 

Now I go to put the stickers on the bike. On this test we will use the black livery. 

Second day - rainy test:

Today was awesome! I tested the BMW at Kirkistown in pouring rain! I did 55 laps. My team is satisfied, but I don't want to make predictions! 

However, I really like the bike and Thompson's team. I enjoyed this day very much. I will have time to put on the stickers only tomorrow. Friday will see another test, but that time, in dry conditions.

Final testing day:

It was a mixed day. Everything was great, my speed increased a lot in Kirkistown. It was big help that I could ride together with Stephen Thompson. The weather was dry, but there was big wind, and only 7 degrees. These Irish and English riders are very tough, for sure. They are not perplexed by cold or rain. I need to be tougher, too. 
I like that here are no show-business. We all were in one big box, with William Dunlop. Everybody is modest, quiet and incredibly fast. I am happy with everything.
