Bayliss's new team-mate
Michel Fabrizio was making his debut for the Italian factory on Wednesday - and finished his first day on the 1200cc racer with the fifth fastest lap time, one second behind Bayliss, despite a fall.
"My debut with the 1098 went quite well apart from a small crash!" said the former DFX Honda rider. "I like the bike a lot and I immediately managed to find a good feeling. Every time I went out in the morning, I managed to improve, which is always a good sign. In the afternoon however my time stayed the same as the morning because we changed the rear shock. There are another couple of days left here and I hope to improve."
