While the MotoGP were filing the Sepang track in distant Malaysia, in Valencia, the intermediate categories of the Grands Prix were also entering the 2019 vintage. In Moto3, it's Canet who pulled out the pin to the great satisfaction of the new Sterilgarda Max Racing Team, whose captain is a certain privateer Max Biaggi...
Aron canet competed in all his Moto3 World Championship races on a Honda. Now here he is on a KTM. At the Valencia test he drove 0,2 seconds below the lap record in 1' 39.109 min. Suffice to say that its adaptation to the Austrian machine was done without difficulty.
The new Sterilgarda Max Racing Team, a joint venture between Max Biaggi and the team owner, Peter Öttl, found ideal conditions during the first tests of the year in Valencia. More than 20 degrees, sunshine and almost no wind. 18 riders from the Moto3 World Championship used the pre-season tests, mainly KTM riders.
Aron canet of the Sterilgarda Max Racing team was one of the fastest drivers in all conditions. Official timing did not exist in this test. The three-time Spanish Moto3 GP winner covered just under 500 kilometers over the two days. He was able to adapt his riding style to the new Moto3 KTM. He also tested new parts for KTM. “ At the end of practice, Canet's best time was 0,2 seconds under the lap record ", declared the team manager, Peter Öttl. “ It was a very positive start for the team. From February 11, we will continue the preparations for the season with another two-day test in Jerez ».
« I am very comfortable with my new KTM ", said Aron Canet after the test in Valencia on speedweek. " It matches my riding style perfectly. Our new team is already working very well. The support from KTM is also excellent. Now I'm looking forward to the Jerez test. After being able to ride the new KTM this fall and now only in Valencia, the next test will be very interesting ».
