VIETTI CLOSES OFFICIAL TESTS IN JEREZ WITH GOOD FEELINGS AHEAD OF THE 2025 SEASON OPENER

The final pre-season tests have just concluded at the Jerez de la Frontera circuit, where Celestino Vietti worked intensively to best prepare for the start of the Moto2 Championship. The Italian rider faced the sessions alone due to the absence of his teammate, Alonso López, who returned to Madrid on Tuesday afternoon to undergo surgery on his left-hand little finger.

Over the three days of testing, Vietti and the team explored various setups to fine-tune his Boscoscuro. Session after session, the number 13 rider showed steady progress, improving his feeling with the bike and making the most of every lap on track (205 completed). Vietti’s best lap time, 1’40.246, came during the second session on the final day, securing him the tenth position in the overall standings. A promising result that lays a solid foundation for the start of the season.

The HDR Heidrun Team now looks ahead with confidence to the first race in Thailand, scheduled for next weekend.

CELESTINO VIETTI #13:

“Three days of testing are done! I’m satisfied because it was great to work with the team, understand the bike, and progress step by step. I’ve gained a better understanding of some aspects the bike requires to be ridden at its best, and at the same time, the team has understood what I need to feel at my top. It was a positive test: we head into the first race with a good foundation to keep working on the final details. I’m happy and grateful to the entire team for the work done over the past few days. Now we are ready to give our all in Thailand!”.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21:

“Unfortunately, I couldn’t take part in the Jerez tests due to my surgery on the pinky finger of my left hand, but I’m working hard to recover as best as possible for the first Grand Prix. I’m excited and motivated to start the season, and I can’t wait to get back on track and give 100%”.
