ALDEGUER AND FENATI CONCLUDE OFFICIAL MOTO2 TEST IN PORTUGAL
The MB Conveyors SpeedUp riders concluded the last session of the pre-season tests this afternoon at the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve, which this year will host the first MotoGP event in Europe at the end of April.
Coming back from two more days of private testing in Jerez de la Frontera, Fermín and Romano faced three days of intense work on the Portuguese circuit, both working on the set-up of their Boscoscuro B-22 bikes.
At the end of the three days Aldeguer completed a total of 124 laps, taking the fifth fastest time in 1’42.115 scored on the last day of testing. The Spaniard declared himself quite satisfied with the work done in these days with the team and ready for the start of the 2022 season of the Moto2 World Championship.
Different goals for the new entry Romano Fenati, who took advantage of the pre-season tests to get to know the bike better without focusing on the fastest lap. Constant growth and fast learning are the positive balance of these tests for Romano who closed the three days with 138 laps in twenty-fourth position with a time of 1’43.505.
The MB Conveyors SpeedUp riders will be back on track from 4th to 6th March to compete in the Grand Prix of the 2022 Moto2 World Championship at the Losail International Circuit in Doha in Qatar.
FERMÍN ALDEGUER #54: 5th in 1’42.115 – 124 laps
“After five days of testing, two in Jerez and three in Portimão, we have improved the bike in many aspects also thanks to the new Boscoscuro 2022. There is still a lot of work to be done, but the sensations are really good. Day after day we tried different changes, especially on the front which is our weakest point, and we managed to find the right path. I’m sorry for the crash during the second session of the third day, because we were finishing our fastest lap, but in any case the sensations are very positive and we feel ready for the first race in Qatar!”
ROMANO FENATI #5: 24th in 1’43.505 – 138 laps
“After the pre-season tests in which we worked a lot on the setup of the bike and above all on the riding position. Here in Portimão we didn’t lap as fast as we wanted, but we are happy with the work done because even with the mistakes we were able to progress. A new season of the World Championship begins in a few days, my eleventh, and I am really happy to be back racing in Moto2”.
