Team ParkinGO Triumph BE1 Racing at Portimao for 3 days of Testing


The "4 Musketeers" Chaz Davies, Sebastien Charpentier, David Salom and Jason Di Salvo started preparing the bikes for the upcoming season with three days of testing at Portimao, an event organised by Infront Motorsports.

Chaz Davies, who raced for team ParkinGO Triumph BE1 Racing last year, and David Salom worked on the new fork configurations and the shock absorbers along with the electronic system, precisely on the traction control.

Di Salvo aCharpentier started learning the difficult Portuguese track, which is unknown to them and improved their feeling with the bike.

These three days are considered to be a shakedown for both riders and technicians. The former are essentially ready for the next test in Australia when they will have the machines set up for the 2010 season, the latter,among which there are new faces as well, got to know the riders and learned the crew's work method, the true strength of this team. And it tis this particular quality that will help improve last season's results according to the team owner Giuliano Rovelli.
