Crash.net is has posted a quick bit about the 1098 F08 shake down that Troy Bayliss has been doing at the Vallelunga circuit near Rome.

“This is the first time I’ve tested the bike and I’m trying to get as comfortable on it as possible,” declared Bayliss, “I feel that we’re already close to the performance of the 999 and with the data we picked up here and the indications given to the engineers, I’m sure we can improve the times set on the old bike at the next tests. I’m pretty sure the bike will be competitive soon. A big thanks also to Niccolò for all the testing work he’s done on the bike.”
