MillSport Ducati’s Jakub Smrz rocketed to the top of the Cartagena Pro-Test timesheets this afternoon, banging in a 1’34.3 lap to take him within spitting distance of Tommy Bridewell’s time from yesterday.

The former WSBK star had spent the opening two days getting used to his 199 Panigale and using the time to get setup on the harder compound Pirelli SC1 tyre but then tried the softer SC0, which is still a race tyre and not like the SC0 of two years ago, and immediately went quicker, with four laps in the 1’34 bracket.

Milwaukee’s Yamaha’s Bridewell, who crashed in the second session, recovered to put in some short distance runs and was consistently in the high 1’33s as was team-mate Josh Brookes.

The Australian’s quickest of the day was a 1’34.7, but he was able to put in a run of laps in the late 1’34s, early 1’54s on worn SC1s.

Tyco Suzuki’s John Hopkins and Josh Waters were lapping in the early 1’35s as was Martin Jessopp on the Riders BMW.

Cartagena BSB test: Hopkins finds ‘good base setting’ Cartagena BSB test: Hopkins finds ‘good base setting’ 09/03/2014

Tyco Suzuki’s John Hopkins has taken positives from his four days’ testing at Cartagena and says he is now comfortable with the GSX-R1000 after being off a racebike for more than a year.

Although the team are not publishing official times, Hopkins was clocked regularly in the low 1’35s bracket during the test and has found a good base setting he can take into the season, which starts over Easter.

“I think the test was really positive. We definitely achieved what we aimed to achieve, which was to get comfortable on the bike again and get myself back up to speed. With so long away from racing I didn’t have extreme expectations at Cartagena, but we met every expectation that I had set myself and maybe a bit more, and the base setting on the Tyco Suzuki was really good,” said Hopkins.

“The boys did a great job with the bike right off the bat. We hardly changed anything over the course of the four days. Yeah we made some minor tweaks and adjustments to smooth things out, which helped me to lower my lap time on each of the four days – so yeah it was very successful. It’s a great team and I’ve always enjoyed hanging out with guys from Northern Ireland so it’s been really positive.”

Mercer in action during testing at Cartagena

Team Traction Control have upped their ante in the Motorpoint British Supersport Championship for 2014 and will field Steve Mercer in the Evo class alongside James Rispoli in the main field.

Mercer hasn’t raced a full British championship season for seven years after dipping his toe into World Endurance and spending time on the roads.

“I am dead keen to get started this season and I am really excited to get this chance with the team to ride in the Supersport Championship. I have only raced 1000cc bikes in the past and then when we were testing in Spain I rode the 600 and it felt like a breath of fresh air and it really was great fun, so much so that I lapped quicker on it as I was enjoying it so much! The bike I rode in Spain was a standard specification but I came back into the garage and was absolutely buzzing from riding it,” said Mercer.

“Myself and Keith (Flint, team owner) spoke about it and now we want to have a go at the Evo class and with James in the main Championship and me in the Evo class hopefully we can be a force to be reckoned with in both! Me and James have been spurring each other on throughout testing and we have been working really well together and I think racing in the same championship will be great for both of us and the team. I haven’t competed a full season in a British Championship since 2007 so I am really excited.”

Milwaukee Yamaha have fun in the sun with five day test



Milwaukee Yamaha have completed the first of their pre-season testing, with Tommy Bridewell and Josh Brookes completing three days at Cartagena followed by a further two days at Alcarras to make the most of the Spanish sunshine.

Josh Brookes, making his debut on the crossplane Yamaha, initially struggled to find a pace he was happy with, but says that over the course of the five days of testing he eventually met his pre-test goals.

“The last few days here in Spain working with the team have been great. Cartagena was a chance for me to learn the bike and get used to it in the first instance and then when we moved on to Alcarras we were able to start making a few adjustments. We made really good progress on the final two days at Alcarras and with the changes we have made it felt like the bike was on rails and that puts us in a good position for the next test we have before the first round.”

Bridewell, however, remaining with the team he sat out the end of 2013 with, was able to concentrate on finding a fast base setting, something he achieved despite a major crash on day three.

“The tests have been really beneficial. Cartagena was really good, although we had a small crash which was just annoying more than anything else. I was feeling comfortable on the bike and we had been working through a few small things before we lost that bit of time. We then went to Alcarras and I was suffering a bit on the first day, which we found to be a problem with the forks after the crash. The team rebuilt the chassis and changed the forks and it completely transformed the bike and we made leaps and bounds in progress; I was 1.7 seconds faster on the second day. I am happy with how we have finished up as we are not a million miles off and we turned it around on the final day.”
