Having missed last weeks tests in Sepang, the last few days have left Konica Minolta Honda rider Makoto Tamada playing catch-up, but nonetheless he's 'absolutely satisfied'.
After an impressive season in 2004 where Tamada scored 2 race wins, 2005 was a comparatively poor season, with just one podium finish and 11th in the championship. Makoto finished the test with a best time of 1'31.82 which was good for 10th fastest.  Tamada on the RC211V Makoto Tamada on the Phillip Island Test
"I'm absolutely satisfied of the job we have done today. We found the perfect conditions to test and I'm convinced we could benefit of the data we gathered today even from the next Sepang test. I made so many laps; my feeling with the bike is getting constantly better and better, even if, obviously, lots of work has still to be done before stating that we found the ideal 2006 RC211V setting. I'm convinced we are on the right way and satisfied of the top physical form I reached during this winter in Japan. I think a longer winter stop has been positive because now I feel totally regenerated." Tamada will be in action again at the Sepang circuit in 2 weeks time, from the 14th to 16th of February.
