Jake Dixon completes HRC WorldSBK testing in Estoril

British rider Jake Dixon expressed satisfaction with his summer testing program with HRC following a two-day session at the Estoril circuit in Portugal. Although rain disrupted the schedule, Dixon utilized the wet conditions to gain much-needed experience riding WorldSBK machinery in the rain.

Dixon noted that while the damp track made initial learning difficult, he was able to begin testing various components once the track dried in the afternoons. He reported positive progress regarding the front-end feel of the motorcycle, though he noted that further improvements are still required for the rear end.

As a factory rider, Dixon emphasized that his role during these tests extends beyond achieving fast lap times to focusing on technical development and understanding how specific adjustments affect the bike's performance.
