Much expectation revolves around Davide Giugliano and the possibility that he will be in charge of taking over the reins of the second Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade SP2 of the Have kate from the next test of the Superbike World Championship to be held in August in Germany.
After two days of test at Lausitzring where we could see the Italian riding a SBK again trying to gain confidence for a possible return to the championship. At the moment he was three seconds behind Jonathan Rea's time, but timing was not the priority.

The expectation generated around the Ten Kate tests in Germany was quite high. Davide Giugliano He had been riding a WorldSBK bike again since leaving his seat on the Aruba-it Ducati Panigale last year. Despite the results obtained in the tests, the Italian assures that he is very happy, since it was a special occasion and he wanted to make the most of it, "although the bad weather conditioned our working hours", he comments to our colleagues from GP One.
Over the three seconds apart With the Briton from Kawasaki, Jonathan Rea, Davide is not concerned at all "the objective was not to be fast, but to know the bike and gain confidence". In addition, the Roman had to completely reset his riding after going through the Ducati and the BMW of the BSB and this took him some time before adjusting to the Honda. Still, he was able to get a general idea of how the bike has to take and the direction it has to go.
About the differences between the Panigale and the Fireblade SP2Giugliano believes that “the Honda is very easy to drive, it doesn't try to make it difficult for you. Of course there are aspects that need to be improved, but the Fireblade is new and still needs a lot of development”.
After the tests, Marco Chini, Honda boss in the WSBK, said that the Italian is a one of the clear candidates to get on the bike in the round to be held in August and the rider is clear: “I would like to race and go back to Superbike, there is no doubt about that. Of course I know that I have to wait, since there is nothing concrete and this has been simply a test.
