Moto2 Valencia Test

While WSBK was testing in Valencia, six Moto2 teams were also on track, however their test times are more difficult to interpret as all the teams had different kitted and tuned Honda engines.
Anthony West posted the fastest times on both days of testing, but even if the bike was branded MZ, West was riding the same Honda SS that he used during 2009 season because MZ bought the bike directly from Stiggy Racing.

Italtrans’ Robert Rolfo was second fastest also on both days, taking advantage of the fact he has already used the Suter bike, but with a Yamaha engine in the Spanish CEV.
Julian Simon rode the Spanish BQR with a best time this morning of 1’37”8, while this afternoon he tried the Pons Kalex with lap time of 1’38”2 which will probably give Aspar Martinez, who is still hoping of getting Aprilia to give him their abandoned chassis, a better idea of what chassis he could eventually use.

While Simon’s team mate Mike Di Meglio spent most of the day riding a Yamaha supersport bike, getting some experience on a 4-stroke he too took a turn on the Pons Kalex.

Raffaele De Rosa on Hervè Poncharals Tech3 did a best lap of 1’39”2.
As the conditions at Valencia are sunny and dry, all the Moto 2 squads, BQR, Italtrans STR, Mapfre Aspar, Tech 3 and Pons Kalex have decided to continue testing on Friday, despite the track was scheduled for only two days.
The Moto2 teams will return to testing in January at Jerez, but the official Honda engines will be supplied in the middle of March, one month before the season opener.
