COMTREND RACING TEAM

On February the 17th we had the first training session in our home track, Jarama.
It was a cold morning where the temperature at 9 was 4 ºC, and it reached a maximum of 10ºC at about 4pm.
Once the bike was loaded onto the trailer I couldn´t resist taking some pictures of it

Now in the track it´s time to fit the tyre warmers, prepare all the tools… and put the gloves over the tyre warmers… it´s really cold !!

From the beginning, and probably due to the low temperature of the tarmac, we were suffering problems with the rear shock. The tyre was bitten, probably due to an excess of traction.

We increased the preload of the spring trying to make the bike slide sooner, as the hydraulics were nearly closed already, but it kept scratching the tyre and slidding in a non controllable manner, so the times weren´t great... but we will keep working on it!
