confirmation la 800 Ilmor plus rapide que la 800 ducati

Legendary Formula 1 and Indianapolis engine builder, Ilmor, has raised expectations ahead of its motoGP debut in next month's Portuguese Grand Prix by claiming to have lapped quicker than the Ducati 800.

"It's great be back in MotoGP and riding a bike with this sort of horsepower and speed," McCoy said. "I'm keen to get amongst the MotoGP guys again."

"When I first tested the bike in Albacete I couldn't believe how small it was, but fortunately for me I'm small too, so I knew it was not going to be a problem.

"The bike felt good straight away on the first day. I couldn't go too fast on it because I didn't know the track, so I thought I'd take it easy, but I feel very comfortable riding it."

At Barcelona the team shared the track with Ducati's new 800cc prototype, itself impressively fast when tested alongside the current 990cc machines after the CzechRepublic Grand Prix, but Ilmor claims that McCoy lapped 0.4 seconds faster than the new Italian V4.

"That was on Dunlops, so we are pretty pleased with the performance so far," Ilmor's managing director Steve Miller told Crash.net. "We were running six or seven lap stints and were 0.4 seconds faster than the 800 Ducati, and one second slower than the (multiple race winning) 990 Ducati."
