Moto3: In Valencia, progress is made for the new Honda NSF250RW

Alex Rins and Alex Marquez continued the development of the new Honda NSF3RW during the three days of collective Moto250 testing in Valencia. The two Spanish riders worked with their respective teams to adapt the bike to their riding style, trying to get the most out of a bike that is currently inferior to the KTM. The two have covered 1.488 km and in the combined ranking of the three days they are in tenth position (Rins +0.777) and sixteenth (Marquez +1.175).

rins: “I'm quite happy with how we worked with the team in terms of chassis and suspension – said Alex Rins – and even if the times are not yet what we were looking for we managed to maintain a good pace and collect a lot of data to develop the motorcycle.”

“I'm happy with these three days of testing. Today I closed the tests early, because my right shoulder is not yet 100% and I prefer not to force it, so as to go to Jerez in better shape. Overall we are happy with the work done in these three days, even if the difficult weather conditions (there was a strong wind, ed.) prevented us from making the desired progress. We must continue to work on the development of the new bike together with the HRC technicians.”
