After the MotoGP riders, it's the Moto2 and Moto3 guys who are back on track at the "Angel Nieto" circuit in Jerez de la Frontera, to face a day of post-GP testing. A Tuesday of testing useful to continue to refine the feeling with the bikes and the Pirelli tires, in use this season in both cadet categories of the MotoGP. As usual, the track will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and will see Moto3 and Moto2 riders take turns to complete a total of three practice sessions per class, lasting 1 hour and 10 minutes each. Let's see what the rankings say after the first test session in both categories.
Moto3: Alonso restarts in fourth, 2nd Bertelle
Just as in the race weekend just concluded, it was the Moto3 guys who kicked off operations at the Andalusian track, where it was once again David Alonso who made the difference. Already the star of all the practice sessions of the weekend, the Colombian of the CFMoto Aspar team started hammering again from the first of the day's three rounds, printing the best reference in 1'44"509.
The only one to go below the wall of 1'45 on this cool Spanish morning, the 18-year-old trimmed a good half second off Matteo Bertelle, who attested in the final part of the session as the first of his pursuers, and thus proving once again the superiority that would have quietly allowed him to win the Spanish Grand Prix, without the fall at the last corner suffered on the first lap of the race.
Completing the virtual podium of these FP1s was the fresh GP winner, Collin Veijer, just 49 thousandths away from the Venetian of the Snipers team. Excellent start also for Stefano Nepa, fifth at 42 thousandths from the fourth position occupied by Ryusei Yamanaka. More distant was his teammate Nicola Fabio Carraro, who ended the round in tenth position, 1"1 from the top, tailed by Filippo Farioli. Thirteenth time, instead, for Luca Lunetta, followed by Riccardo Rossi.
Moto2: Garcia sets the pace ahead of Dixon and Chantra, 4th Arbolino
As for the intermediate class, it took Sergio Garcia to keep a Boscoscoscuro ahead of everyone, after Sunday's triumph of Fermin Aldeguer (who did not take part in this test round as did his teammate Alonso Lopez). The MT Helmets - MSi team rider put everyone in line with a 1'40"740 time. A time only a tenth higher than the Jerez track record set last year by Aron Canet, which allowed the winner of the Grand Prix of the Americas to detach by 146 thousandths the runner-up Jake Dixon, hounded on this occasion by Somkiat Chantra.
Just as in the Spanish GP, best of the Italian riders was Tony Arbolino. First of the riders to stay above the 1'40" wall, the Lombard of the Marc VDS team put himself behind Darryn Binder, Deniz Oncu and Filip Salac, who completed the Top 10 together with Ai Ogura, Zonta van den Goorbergh and Senna Agius. Fairly small gaps in this first test session, with Celestino Vietti in 13th position just seven tenths behind Garcia. On the other hand, Italtrans Racing team standard bearer Dennis Foggia, who suffered an elbow injury on Saturday, did not turn.
