Karel Abraham’s debut season in the premier class of the MotoGP World Championship came to a conclusion at the Official Test at Valencia on Wednesday, where the Cardion AB Motoracing rider finished the second day seventh fastest with a best time of 1’33.433.

Searching for a suitable set-up on the new Ducati Desmosedici GP12, the 21 year-old completed 72 laps and was 1.626s off fastest rider Dani Pedrosa.

Karel Abraham:
“During the first few laps we solved most of the problems we had and then we tried many things and focused on the set-up of the motorcycle. I’m quite satisfied with the result of the Test, but I think I could have set an even better lap time. I spent most of the time on track in the morning and then I was quite tired in the afternoon, but I’m happy with the way I ended my first season in the premier class and now I’m looking forward to winter break.”
