Casey Stoner continued testing on Wednesday for HRC on the new 1000cc at Jerez.

After a positive first day test, HRC decided to continue testing the 2012 prototype today with Casey Stoner.

The original plan was to have a one day test with Stoner and one with Pedrosa, however, due to the outcome of events from last weekend in Le Mans with Dani’s injury, HRC decided to complete one more day with Casey and test rider Ito Shinichi in order to finish the planned testing program.

With windy conditions and temperatures a little cooler than yesterday, Stoner ran 25 laps in the morning without any issues and Shinichi took over in the afternoon.

HRC engineers were happy with the data acquired.

No other information from the outing was released from day two of the test.
