Moto3: Niccolò Antonelli and Enea Bastianini close the Almeria tests positively

The Junior Team GO&FUN Moto3 concluded a profitable three days of testing on the Almeria circuit. Niccolò Antonelli and Enea Bastianini worked with the team to best adapt the characteristics of their KTMs to their riding style. In particular, the young rider from Cattolica worked on the new rear shock absorber.

Bastianini instead looked for the right feeling with the Moto3, focusing on the riding style and trajectories. The Team's next stop is Valencia, where collective tests will take place from 11 to 13 February.

“We closed these tests with another very productive day, even if an off-track exit slowed down our program a bit: unfortunately I went 'long' in a point where there is little space for escape, and I'm finished against the barriers – said Niccolò Antonelli who recorded a personal best time of 1'39″5 – Luckily I didn't hurt myself, but this episode made us lose some time. At the end I also tried a rear shock absorber which further improved my sensations on the bike and I also slightly improved my best time from yesterday, so I'm satisfied and excited for the next tests in Valencia!.”

“These three days of testing were very useful: I learned many things, both from the point of view of riding and setting up the bike – added Enea Bastianini, who recorded a 1'41″0 as his best performance – Today In particular, I worked a bit on the trajectories, trying to follow other riders on the track. Unfortunately, the strong wind bothered me a bit today too, but overall I'm very happy: I'll arrive in Valencia with a little more experience under my belt and I'll try to improve even further!”
