Day 2 with rain at the Moto2 and Moto3 tests in Albacete

Yesterday the Moto2 and Moto3 test at the Albacete Circuit came to a close, where some world championship teams have been testing and training for the 2013 pre-season. These two days of hard work on the Albacete track have now ended, although unfortunately this second day was more affected by the rain than Wednesday was.

As a result, the more than ten world championship riders who have been training in Albacete these past few days were unable to improve their lap times from the first day, as very heavy rain fell on the night from Wednesday to Thursday and left the track very wet, and they could not improve their times because of these conditions.

So it was another day to disregard when it comes to training, as they could hardly test anything all day. However, they were riding in the wet, and some of them posted their best times of both days. The fastest overall was our own Julián Simón with a lap time of 1:30.999, followed by Nakagami with a 1:31.885.

Below you can see the times that were provided:

1. Julián Simón – 1:30.999
2. Takaaki Nakagami – 1:31.885
3. Thomas Lüthi – 1:31.992
4. Scott Redding – 1:32.304
5. Toni Elías – 1:32.629
6. Mika Kalio: 1:32.687

It seems that Julito has adapted well to the Kalex of the Italtrans team. However, as I mentioned, we do not have the times of all the riders who took part, as only these were provided, so we will have to wait for the official practice sessions to see how the gaps and lap times of each of them stand.
