We tested a lot with tyres, brakes and everything and to be honest, it looks good.

But now we have to make the same in the race. The race pace was good. We had very hot weather, it even was a bit too hot for our bike, but that’s okay.

It was a good preparation for the race.” Reiterberger added: “That was some excellent testing, with fastest times and lap records. I felt really good from the very first lap. We completed a comprehensive testing schedule.
