As a pair of Repsol Hondas led the way in Malaysia on Wednesday, Ben Spies was best of the rest as his Yamaha climbed to third on the final Sepang timesheets. The American now heads into Thursday, the last day of the test, in positive mood.
“Today went really well,” he smiled. “We started out and got right up to speed. We worked pretty much just on electronics and also evaluated a couple of different engine configurations, both of which worked really well.
“The lap times were pretty similar, so we need to work out in which direction we want to go. We got a lot accomplished today and tomorrow we've got a couple more things on the engine to look at and we're going to try some tyres for Bridgestone.”
