Sterilgarda Yamaha World Superbike riders Cal Crutchlow and James Toseland settled in for their second test with their new 2010 team at the Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia. The British pairing spent the first day working through various electronic settings on the bike, including the anti wheelie control and the traction control to find a smoother feeling on the throttle of the championship winning R1.
Crutchlow also spent some time working with the team to perfect his positioning on the R1, a larger bike than his championship winning R6."It's nice being on a track I know so I could really concentrate on the bike, unlike Portimao in the last test where I was learning the circuit as well" said Toseland. "I think we've been really competitive today, the times I've been doing have been really comfortable, so a sign for me that the bike and team is working well.
