During the first Moto2 tests which took place in Jerez last November, Joan Mir, reigning Moto3 world champion, immediately established a very good relationship with his team while having fun on the handlebars of his ex-Morbidelli Kalex . Mir progressed with each outing on the track, both in terms of sensations and times.
Joan then declared: “ We created a good atmosphere and that is very important. I tried different things in terms of the chassis and the suspensions so that we have an idea of what might be suitable in this category to go fast. The result is quite clear. I have improved my times each time I have taken to the track and I hope to continue this in Valencia next week ". For Pete Benson, team leader of Mir, “ Joan's approach to discovering the Moto2 category was very positive. He understood that it took time to adapt and that it had to be done step by step. And he has already accomplished some of them. »
The Marc VDS team then decided not to participate in last week's Valencia tests due to the weather conditions. On the other hand, everyone is meeting again this week in Jerez.
