PASINI SETS RECORD Mattia Pasini left Jerez de la Frontera at the top of the 125 class. The rider from Romagna cleaned up with a solid 1’46”816, better than the track record of 1’46”938 set by Daniel Pedrosa in 2003. Pasini, atop an RS 125 of Team Master Aspar, completed 62 laps, ahs he concentrated on the material at his disposition so that he could arrive at the first race of the year with clear ideas as to what to use. At the end, they found an ideal setting that allowed Mattia to command the behavior of the 2006 engine. The 125 has always been one of the most competitive classes internationally with the presence of six production houses battling for the title. Aprilia confirmed itself to be a definite competitor as five bikes were in the final classification’s top ten for the Irta testing at Jerez. Beyond Pasini, the others present in the top ten were Hector Faubel from Master Aspar (8th, 1’47”677), Joan Olive from team SSM Racing (9th, 1’47”683), and Sergio Gadea, also from Master Aspar (10th, 1’47”743). Also today, there were a few falls that forced some teams to stop working early. Amongst these were Pasini’s inconsequential falls in the final and Lorenzo Zanetti’s (Skilled I.S.P.A.) two falls. Worse was the fall of Angel Rodriguez from 3C Racing Totti Top Sport. The Iberian rider suffered a lesion to his left thumb and contusions to his right shoulder, foot, and left leg. On the track tomorrow will be the 250 for the first of two days dedicated to them for the last Irta testing before the start of the season.
