From a press release issued by Ten Kate Honda:

Ten Kate Honda continues testing

Superbike rookie Chris Vermeulen continued his testing programme with the new Honda CBR1000RR on Monday at the Valencia circuit.

Weather conditions were the same as during race 2, and Vermeulen set a best lap of 1:37.2.

Chris Vermeulen commented;”During the weekend we didn’t want to test too much complete new settings since we wanted to concentrate on the race. The test on Monday was perfect, we tried various settings and parts and we improved our laptimes. It appears to me that we are using more and more of the Fireblade’s potential. We just need to continue step by step and that takes time. My technical crew has plenty of information to work with now and hopefully that will allow us to be with the front runners at Phillip Island.”
