The back-to-back WorldSSP champion made his debut aboard the R1 for GRT Yamaha as he completed 47 laps in what turned out to be a ha✨lf-day of 📖action.

Like the Jerez test two weeks ago which saw the likes of six-time champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jonathan Rea, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Lowes and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Scott Redding all affected by wet-weather, Aegerter♑ was also reduced to a lack of track time at the Spanish circꦬuit.

"We finished the first day of the test in wet con🧸ditions and did only half a⛄ day," Aegerter told . 

"I think we did around 47 laps, all of which were in t💧he wet weather and ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚalso with a lot of wind. It wasn’t too cold, but it was in strange conditions. 

"It’s difficult to get a first feeling♒ on this kind of bike in weather like this, so let’s say it was slightly difficult to get the feeling and the setup. 

"We changed the seat position and gotꩵ used to the electronicsꦚ and buttons."

Despite conditions being less than favourable, which is expected to remain the case during Wednesdayꦓ, Aegerter did gain valuable experience in the wet ahead of the upcoming season.

The Swiss rider felt that more corner speed and l🌞ean angle was needed in wet conditions, although that should come as he gains more experience with Superbike machinery. 

Aegerter continued: “It was good to see the team for the first time and just work with them and see how they work and how I react to the changes,ౠ all of which 🌊was planned. 

"The main plan for today was to check everything is w✅orki൩ng and to make small changes, give some feedback but for sure, we wanted some dry track time, but it doesn’t look so good for tomorrow. 

"In the wet, I need some more corner speed and lean angle, but this will come with more laps and when I have more trust in the bike. We’ll also modify theಞ electronic parts and settings."

Also making his debut at the private test was new team-mate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Remy Gardner, while 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Toprak Razgatlioglu was also in action on day-one.
