Dani Pedrosa and the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing outfit have been spinning some laps at MotorLand Aragon over the past three days, as the testing schedules for Pedrosa and teammate Mika Kallio continue in 2021.
Alongside the KTM duo were a host of WorldSBK riders, who were testing on familiar territory ahead of their 2021 season opener in Aragon from the 21-23 of May. Six-time World Champion Jonathan Rea smashed the WorldSBK pole lap record at MotorLand during the pre-season test and led the way from Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK teammate Alex Lowes.
Other WorldSBK riders who were there included Toprak Razgatlioglu (Pata Yamaha with BRIXX WorldSBK), his teammate and former Moto2™ rider Andrea Locatelli, former Grand Prix stars Chaz Davies (Team GoEleven), Eugene Laverty (RC Squadra Corse), Jonas Folger (Bonovo MGM Action) and Isaac Viñales (Orelac Racing VerdNatura), with well-known faces Tom Sykes (BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) and teammate Michael van der Mark also in attendance.
You can head over to WorldSBK.com to get all the latest from their pre-season, with the 2021 World Superbike campaign – much like MotoGP™ – promising to be a must-watch.
In addition, Elf Marc VDS Racing Team duo Sam Lowes and Augusto Fernandez have been at MotorLand Aragon this week for some in-season testing action. The Moto2™ duo gathered some important data ahead of Le Mans, the scene of Lowes' first victory with the team in 2020.
