Day 1 of Moto2 and Moto3 testing in Albacete

Yesterday several riders and teams from the Motorcycle World Championship held pre-season training sessions at the Albacete Circuit, taking advantage of Bike Promotion organizing two days of testing on the Albacete track.

Over these two days of testing, we saw about ten riders from the motorcycle world championship in the Moto2 category as well as Moto3, where several of our own stood out, such as Luis Salom and Álex Rins in the smaller class, and in the intermediate class, Toni Elías and Julián Simón, among others.

While the premier class has had two days in Valencia, these riders from Moto2 and Moto3 took advantage of the track conditions and the weather around midday, when the rain stopped and the track began to dry, in order to get the most out of these pre-season tests, showing some of the changes we will see in action for 2013, such as Luis Salom with the KTM factory team, the Estrella Galicia 0,0 team with KTM; and in Moto2, for example, Toni Elías with the Kalex from Italtrans.

Regarding lap times, we have no information: the riders and teams did not release any data from this day 1 of private testing in Albacete. Among the Moto2 riders we were able to see Toni Elías, Julián Simón, Takaaki Nakagami, Scott Redding, Mika Kallio, Louis Rossi, Thomas Lüthi, Marcel Schrotter and Stefan Nebel. We also saw many KTMs, including those of Alex Rins and Luis Salom, as well as Livio Loi and Harry Stafford.

Entry to the Albacete Circuit is free and open access to the paddock. A great opportunity to see international motorcycle racing, at a high level in action, the perfect preparation for this Moto2 and Moto3 pre-season.
