From sunny Valencia, to rainy and windy Estoril, more than thirty Moto2 riders are currently in Portugal for another three-day test session that saw the morning session more or less a washout.
However in the afternoon the track started to dry out and the riders headed out, but the unofficial lap times were in the high bracket with Simone Corsi (Ioda Racing) and Jules Cluzel (Forward Racing) who suffered a harmless crash, posting the identical lap time of 1’43.
9.
The third best time went to Alex de Angelis, who was just a tenth slower with his MotoBI/TSR mounting new Ohlins forks.
The Sammarinese was followed Scott Redding and Kenan Sofuoglu who returned to action with his Technomag CIP team, after the death of his father last week.
Sufuoglu and Redding also posted identical lap times.
Corsi’s team mate Mattia Pasini was sixth, while Claudio Corti and Mika Kallio, still slightly hampered by his recent shoulder surgery were seventh and eighth respectively.
The test also saw the debut of Xavier Simeon on the third Tech3 bike.
