Repsol Honda's Dani Pedrosa reckons he is satisfied with the amount of endurance and strength that has returned to the shoulder he smashed mid-way through last year and is no longer worried by the lack of strength he had been experiencing.
The Spaniard spent the three-day test hopping between 2010 and 2011-spec RC212Vs, managing to set the second fastest laptimes overall, only being bettered by a shock lap from fellow works Honda man Marco Simomncelli.
"I am very very happy about how the test went in general. The best news we could have is that recovery of the arm has been effective and cramps have disappeared and the lack of power which had me so worried. This afternoon we did a long run of 12 laps and we have done well," said Pedrosa.
"As for the work on the bike, I am also satisfied. We tried many things, step by step, and we leave Malaysia with clear ideas regarding suspensions and some more thing to confirm about chassis and engine when we come back here. I have concentrated more on the 2010 machine and the second test we will have more time to test this year's bike.
"Ohlins also will bring some new parts that can still improve the package. For me the most important step we have given is in terms of stability on braking, which was one of the things we wanted."
