Certainly, the first day of the official Moto2 test at the Frontera circuit was dominated by the fiery Remy Gardner. But, without in any way wanting to devalue the Australian's performance, we know that the boy particularly appreciates the Andalusian track where he also achieved the best time in FP3 last season, before qualifying in fourth position.
Also, the surprise comes especially in our eyes from the place obtained in the combined ranking by the beginner Arón Canet riding his Speed Up from the Aspar team.
With a total of 28 drivers on track, the Spaniard finished fifth at the Circuito de Jerez – Ángel Nieto in the combined standings of the three sessions, having completed more than 50 laps.
In 1'41.439 in the third session, the 3 Moto2019 world vice-champion improved by 3 tenths the time he obtained during last week's private test, thus demonstrating an excellent adaptation to his brand new Speed Up .
The Valencian was also the best rider on the Italian bike during this first day of testing and is only a little more than half a second behind the leader of the day, Remy Gardner.
Aron Canet : “I'm very happy with how the day went. After trying the bike for the first time last week, during the two days of private testing, I have greatly improved certain aspects of my riding style and of the bike itself. I still have to adapt to the category, although we have a good pace and it's something to be proud of. »
