Pramac Racing Team is working for the Motogp Season 2015 . With less than three weeks to go until Sepang test 1, Giacomo Guidotti, crew chief of the team of Yonny Hernandez, relives the season of the colombian rider and glances at the future.

Yonny Hernandez season 2014
“We met a very fresh pilot for the environment of MotoGp. And the need for a team like Pramac Racing, practically official, are much greater than those can have a private one. We welcomed him by offering him all our wealth of experience trying to put him in a position to grow immediately. And day after day Yonny showed steady growth highlighting how wide is his margin. The weekend in Barcelona, where it has always been among the first, we finally realized his talent. Maybe it’s Barcellona a good circuit for Yonny, but we expect from him to be able to keep that level in every Grand Prix.

Yonny Hernandez and wet condition

“This is a chapter to be analyzed in depth. It is true that in the rain is one of the fastest. Maybe it depends on its great sensitivity in riding the bike, perhaps his riding style gets more benefits in terms of low grip. But the numbers say that he never got what he could get. In short: in the wet Yonny is fast but he must capitalize this attitude. 

Valencia test: the Desmosedici 14.2

“Conditions were a bit particolar. The weather didn’t help us. Anyway, the move to 14.2 was positive but we have not had time to explore it in depth. The little time that we had available was used mainly for making contact in terms of ergonomics more than performance”.

Sepang Test 1
“The primary goal is to build a relationship bike-rider as tight as possible as quickly as possible in order to optimize performances. Development must be absorbed quickly by Yonny also because the bike is undoubtedly better than the one with which he concluded last season. We will start with the settings of Valencia. Then we will work on the software to study the technical innovations Ducati will provide. Only in Sepang 2 we will look at the lap times.
