DUCATI test rider Niccolo Canepa set the pace again on Wednesday, just as he had on Tuesday, at the new Indianapolis Motor Speedway circuit with a fastest overall time of 1m 43.007.
Speaking after the test last night, the Italian said: "This morning we had some problems with the bike, so we went slower and did not do a lot of setup. This evening I tried a long run on a full tank and I did a very good lap time on the first lap. We had some problems today, so we weren´t able to make the changes they wanted to do. I´m really happy though, like yesterday, but a little tired now. I want to come back soon because I like the track and the States in general.
"We had a problem yesterday with the grip, but today the track was a little better. I like it, and I´m happy with the job everyone has done here."
Ben Spies was second fastest again with a best lap of 1m 43.091.
