The FIM CEV Repsol championship is holding its 6th round this weekend on the recently re-surfaced Jerez circuit.
If this operation, which took place this summer, initially offered a fairly low level of grip, which can be normal when the surface is new, the various competitions and training sessions that have taken place since have made it possible to present Repsol to FIM CEV competitors. a track that has clearly improved compared to last year, as evidenced by the times achieved.
In Moto3, Karel Hanika's pole position the previous year, in 1'46.806, was largely exceeded by the record in 1'46. 462 made today by the Spaniard Alonso Lopez on his Honda.
Likewise, in Moto2, the 1'44.194 recorded last year by Steven Odendaal was erased by a historic 1'43.129 established by the Spaniard Ricky Cardús (Kalex, Stylobike team) this afternoon.
