With the weekend off, and following in the footsteps of the premier class, the Moto2™ and Moto3™ classes are taking advantage of their spare time to take stock of their machines and find potential improvements. After MotoGP™’s efforts on Monday in Jerez, the two other categories are further north in Spain at Circuit de Barcelona – Catalunya for a private Test on Thursday.
A number of recognisable names and faces are in attendance, with several teams seeing both their riders on track in Moto2™. Elf Marc VDS Racing duo Sam Lowes and Tony Arbolino are joined by Italtrans’ Joe Roberts & Lorenzo Dalla Porta, Pertamina Mandalika SAG Team’s Gabriel Rodrigo & Bo Bendsneyder and Red Bull KTM Ajo’s Augusto Fernandez & Pedro Acosta.
