Canet and Alonso led the first day of testing in Jerez

This Wednesday, the Jerez-Ángel Nieto Circuit hosted the first day of official Moto2 and Moto3 testing, consisting of three sessions against the clock and the common denominator of adapting to the performance of the new tire supplier. Pirellito take over from Dunlop.

In Moto2, Aron Canet (Kalex), this year in the Fantic team, finished the day as a benchmark with his 1.41.136 score in the second round. He was ahead of the American Joe Roberts (1.41.158) and from the British Jake Dixon (1.41.164). Fourth position for the Murcian Fermin Aldeguer (Boscoscuro) with 1,41,283, was one of the men of the day when he was linked this Wednesday with a possible jump to MotoGP in 2025 in the ranks of Prima Pramac Ducati.

Top-5 and top-6 for the two drivers who moved from Kalez to Boscoscuro, Ai Ogura (1.41.301) and Sergio Garcia Dols (1.41.442). Completing the top-10 are Marcos Ramírez (1.41.451), Chantra (1’41.527) and the new Gresini drivers, Arenas (1’41″564) and González (1’41″595). World runner-up Arbolino is 12th at 0″541 and 18th Alonso López at 0″742.

In Moto3 Colombian rider David Alonso, a member of the CF Moto Aspar Team, fell below the absolute track record with 1.44.356 in the third session, a record owned by Andrea Migno since 2021 with 1.44.988. But he is not the only one, up to 9 drivers have ridden below this reference, proving the great evolution experienced in tire change.

Second best time for Sevillian José Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) who stopped the clock at 1.44.358, while Dani Holgado from Alicante clocked 1.44.409. The Dutch Veijer (1’44.445), Adrián Fernández (1’44.488), the Italian Nepa (1’44.511), the Japanese Yamanaka (1’44.706), the La Mancha David Almansa (1’44.724), the Valencian Iván Ortolá ( 1’44.799) and Holgado’s new Red Bull KTM Tech3 teammate, Australian Jacob Roulstone (1’45.065), closed out the top-10. 13th David Muñoz at 0″950.
