For the IRTA Moto2 tests on the Valencian Ricardo Tormo circuit, Team JiR is also present at the start with the former 2008 125 class World Champion Mike di Meglio on the track (in the photo MotoGP.com). For the occasion, the livery of the bike will remain Beta orange; news that however comes to improve expectations for 2013 are the new Partners who have joined Gianluca Montiron's team. A challenge that was immediately accepted by the Frenchman from Meglio who, after a fluctuating performance, is now ready for redemption together with Team JiR and who in fact declares:

“I am very happy to start this new adventure and above all to do it with this excellent Team. I worked hard throughout the winter to present myself at my best for these first events, from a physical, mental and riding sensitivity point of view, I also know that my new team has worked to be at the top of its competitiveness. I can't wait to be in Valencia to get to know the team and start the new adventure together. It's not one of my favorite tracks but at the moment it's not a relevant aspect, we need to concentrate to get off to a good start."

But these will not be the only days that will allow us to achieve a greater feeling at JiR, other test sessions are planned and precisely the Team has chosen to fill the 8 days granted with two private sessions on the Almeria track on 16-18 February and March 11-12. The debut, as usual on the Losail route, is scheduled for 7 April 2013
Montiron's word: "This year, thanks to the experience acquired in the three years of participation in the Moto2 world championship, we are presenting ourselves at the start of the championship continuing to use the TSR chassis, configured with the latest evolution, while the rest of the components will be edited directly by JiR. We have some technical innovations in store that we will introduce during the championship to keep our package at the top of the category. The entry of new investors and the driver Di Meglio is a stimulus to try to improve what has been done so far, aware that the finalizer of the team's work is always the driver".
