GSE Racing Takes Lazy Approach to Testing



This year, GSE (Airwaves) Racing will be running WSB-spec R1s in British SuperBike, instead of Ducatis (Shakey Byrne #67 won last year on a GSE Ducati). Rather than test the bike for themselves, GSE is going to watch how the WSB Yamaha team does, copy their setup and show up at the first race practice session. The actual press release says that rather than develop the bike themselves, they'll "concentrate on preparing our race bike to the same spec as the (WSB) factory team ". I suppose if it's good enough for Spies and Sykes, it's good enough for Ellison and Camier. Last year Camier was on a GSE Ducati and Ellison rode a Honda ... you'd think the riders could use a little preseason practice on their new bikes.
