Moto2 and Moto3 make the most of their test at Motorland Aragón
The Moto2 and Moto3 World Championship have held a day of private testing at the Motorland Aragón Circuit, all with plenty of new 2017 developments to try and also some options for the current season, so a lot of work in perfect conditions.
The Moto3 and Moto2 World Championship held a day of training yesterday at the Motorland Aragón Circuit, so both categories were able to work before the Asian tour at the Aragonese track where the fourteenth round of the 2016 season was held last weekend.
In the Moto3 category we have seen the teams present making the most of the good conditions of the track. Among them, the Estrella Galicia 0.0 team has tried some things for the 2017 season with a third bike, with Navarro comparing the two performances.
For its part, at Mahindra we have seen them test a new engine they had never used before, as well as a new swingarm and a new fork. Without a doubt, a lot of work for all of them. We have also seen the KTM squad start work at this test with the 2017 bike.
The Moto2 category also had a lot of action at the Motorland Aragón Circuit. Among those present we had Thomas Luthi and Takaaki Nakagami, who tested the new Kalex chassis for next season, and also two new swingarms.
At Tech 3 they have continued their work on developing the chassis and the KYB suspensions, with rider Xavi Vierge being in charge on track of testing the new developments. For its part, since this was not an official IRTA test, the new chassis for the KTM Moto2 team could not be tested by Brad Binder, who will ride for that team in the 2017 season. Instead, Johann Zarco, who will ride in MotoGP next year with the Monster Tech 3 team, tested the new chassis.
Kalex has not provided any further developments, so the rest of the teams have worked on setting up the bikes and on the new forks that Öhlins has supplied.
See you at the date in Japan.
