Within 10 days from a reference best lap in 1'43 "2 to a stunning 1'41" 3: real or alleged "miracles" of the new category. The Moto3 closes the second day of activities at the Autodromo Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia with a new record achieved by KTM Motorsport dell'Ajo M32 official assigned to the "veteran" Sandro Cortese, fell on the last lap by January 31 (private testing KTM Racing) to date of almost 2 seconds. Temperatures will be higher (although a few ° C) or the availability, at least for the top teams, the "package World 2012" (unit Dell'Orto and Dunlop tires developed specifically for the new category), this certainly makes a stir Climbing performance of Moto3 made in Matthigofen, so as to create some legitimate and understandable suspicion on the actual goodness of the Valencian tests.
With a ranking of "unofficial" drawn from the times reported by the teams, shows an apparent dominance of the KTM 4-stroke 250cc engines: Sandro Cortese commands in 1'41 "3 with the M32 officer entered the Red Bull KTM Factory Team Ajo, 1 / 10-KALEX KTM Aspar team led by former champion CEV 125 (Rookie of the Year in the World 2010) Alberto Moncayo, even in the fourth test with the staff always Moto3 Cheste. A complete poker "Orange" we think the former vice-Rookies Cup champion Danny Kent (reappointed for the second consecutive year in Ajo Motorsport, now from KTM Factory Rider) and the expert Hector Faubel (second-KALEX KTM dell'Aspar Team), avoids the "pokerissimo" KTM Miguel Oliveira with Honda's NSF250R Monlau Competicion, with this bike capable of beating the 125 GP 2 times in the last two rounds of the CEV 2011 between Valencia (pole in 1'41 "776) and Jerez de la Frontera.
The Portuguese driver, ex-Maverick Vinales great rival in the Spanish League, takes his Hondina sponsored by major sponsors (Repsol, CatalunyaCaixa, Estrella Galicia 0.0) under the wall dell'1'42 "leaving behind familiar faces and some surprise: the Malaysian Zulfahmi Khairuddin again confirmed in top positions with yet another KTM M32, through the Australian champion in office IDM 125 Jack Miller (Honda team Caretta Technology), Louis Rossi (Racing Team Germany today with a FTR- Honda). Rounding out the top-10 include the last pole man in the history of the 125 GP class with Danny Webb Mahindra MGP3O thrust from the propeller Oral OE-250M3R, followed closely by the South African House RW Racing GP Brad Binder, 10 ° of KALEX- KTM.
Speaking of our standard bearer, the Italian champion figure well in office 125 Niccolo Antonelli, 11 ° NSF250R with the Honda Gresini team, but were not communicated to the times of Richard Moretti (tester Mahindra Racing) and ensigns of the IMF on Ioda TR002 Luigi Morciano, Alessandro Tonucci and the reigning European champion Roman Fenati. Same goes for a "big" as Luis Salom (KALEX of KTM-RW Racing GP), but especially Maverick Vinales , with Avintia Racing (ex-Team BQR) has decided to avoid confrontation with the fastest time for the second competition day in a row.
Oral report by the development of the World Wide Racing M3 (now "Ambrose Next Racing") entrusted to the Swiss Giulian Pedone, 19 ° and preceded by MZ Honda driven by the engine by first time runner-up Toni Finsterbusch IDM 125 (deployed by the Racing Team Germany) and the winner of the Grand Prix at Silverstone 2011 Jonas Folger. At the edge of the top-10 but Alex Marquez , brother of Marc, author of the second slide in these tests to "substitute" by Alex Rins to Monlau Competicion, but still in the CEV Moto3 candidate for the title with the same Honda NSF250R managed by the formation of Emilio Alzamora.
