Maverick Vinales dominates day one of Moto3 testing at Valencia

After reportedly being the the fastest rider during KTM’s private test at Almeria, Maverick Vinales arrived at the Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia for the first official Moto3 test of the 2013 season to top the time sheets in all three sessions that were held today.

Maverick Vinales is now riding a KTM for JHK T-shirt LaGlisse and he posted a best time of 1’40″715 – the only rider to break the 1,41 barrier – and he was also under Jonas Folger’s qualifying pole position lap in last season’s Valencia round.

Following Vinales was Luis Salom who suffered a small crash, Alex Rins and Zulfahmi Khairuddin, which put four official factory KTM’s in the top four spots with a fifth thanks to Aspar’s Jonas Folger, who is running a Kalex chassis.
Last year’s Italian revelation Romano Fenati was sixth riding a FTR Honda for San Carlo Team Italia, while Jakub Kornfeil took 7th ahead of Efren Vazquez, who is debuting the new Mahindra by Suter Racing.
Arthur Sissis and Alex Marquez who are also riding KTM’s were 9th and 10th respectively while Maverick Vinales’ cousin Issac was 11th.

Sixteen year- old Ana Carrasco – the first female in Moto3 – and Vinales team mate made an impressive day 1 debut as she finished 12th and ahead of several more experienced Moto3 GP riders.
