MotoGP VIDEO: when Pedro Acosta, Rins, Jorge Martín and Arenas compete in Almeria

Maverick Viñales had set the tone very early by riding an RSV4 and, now three weeks before the first 2022 tests, Pedro Acosta, Rins, Jorge Martín and Arenas followed suit. The Almeria route thus took on the appearance of a dress rehearsal, but with motorcycles from the series as the regulations require. But in fact, what did Petro Acosta ride with, who is a KTM rider, a manufacturer who does not have a sports car to put in his dealerships?   

alex rins took to the track at the controls of a Suzuki GSX-R1000R, George Martin, for his part, drove the Ducati Panigale V4S with beautiful war paint. In the case of'Albert Arenas, the one who was Moto3 world champion in 2020 relied on a Yamaha R1 painted entirely in black for his sessions on private tracks, even if he also had the opportunity to do a few laps with a Panigale V4R from a friend. As for Peter Acosta, he was there but we will not see him in the photos, because the hope KTM had a Yamaha R1. A manufacturer as the official driver of Mattighofen Miguel Oliveira knows well during his own escapades outside MotoGP...

The Andalusian circuit is 4,2 kilometers long. In addition, it is made up of 12 turns, five of which are left, and a straight line of 970 meters. The good weather accompanied the pilots throughout their day. The pilots wanted to share the experience in images on their social networks. Kidneys et Arenas had previously filmed in Valencia. Jorge Martín, for his part, will extend his stay in Almería for a week.

It will be recalled that the official pre-season tests will take place on February 5 and 6 on the Sepang circuit. It will then be the turn of Indonesia, February 11 to 13. The drivers of the small categories, for their part, will carry out the tests at Portimao from February 19 to 21.
