Swan Yamaha ready for on track debut in Spain

Swan Yamaha ready for on track debut in Spain: "The Swan Yamaha pairing of Tommy Hill and Michael Laverty will make their track debut with the Guisborough-based team this week when both riders begin their 2011 pre-season testing campaign, riding the new Yamahas for the first time in Spain.


The team will kick off their preparations for the forthcoming season with a shakedown test at Calafat before travelling to Cartagena for a further two days on track as Hill and Laverty aim to utilise the time to work on base settings ahead of the forthcoming season that gets underway at Brands Hatch on Easter weekend.

Hill said: “It is finally time to get back out on track after a long winter and I definitely can’t wait to get started now. This is our first chance to ride the new Yamaha and this opening test is really going to be about gelling as a team and working out where we need to make changes or for me to adapt my riding style slightly to suit the new bike. The first days at Calafat are going to be getting dialled back in and getting in as much mileage as possible. The team have been sending me updates of all the latest developments at the workshop so now I just want to get out and get cracking. These pre-season tests are always important so we need to utilise the track time and come away ready to hit the ground running at Brands Hatch.”"
