Philipp Oettl outpaces rivals in mixed conditions

Philipp Oettl let riding your motorcycle in the heavy rain

German rider Philipp Oettl was the quickest of a small group of Moto3 riders who tested at Valencia on Wednesday.

The second day of the three day test for the smaller classes at the Spanish venue saw the riders struggling for pace on a damp track, with Philipp Oettl just one of three riders to go out in the morning.

Indeed the Schedl GP Racing rider’s fastest time of that morning session (1’52.107) made him the fastest of the day, well over 12 seconds down on Fabio Quartararo’s sharp lap in the dry on Tuesday (1’39.392).

Philipp Oettl was also fastest in a slightly busier second session, followed closely by Alessandro Tonucci (Outox Reset Drink Team) and Jorge Martin (Mapfre Mahindra Aspar Team).

Tatsuki Suzuki (CIP), Francesco Bagnaia (Mapfre Mahindra Aspar Team), Ana Carrasco (RBA Racing Team), Remy Gardner (CIP) and Daryn Binder (Outox Reset Drink Team) also ventured out in that session.

The third and final session of the day was an all Mapfre Mahindra Aspar Team affair with Juanfran Guevara joining his colleagues Jorge Martin and Franceco Bagnaia on track.

Philipp Oettl and Juanfran Guevara both suffered light crashes during the day but were not seriously affected.

The first day of testing for the Moto3™ riders at Valencia concluded with Fabio Quartararo at the top of the timesheet.

Three sessions over the course of the day at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit gave the 2015 Moto3 rider line-up a chance to reacquaint themselves with the Spanish track as they prepare for the forthcoming World Championship season.

One of Estrella Galicia 0,0 team’s new recruits this year, young French rookie Quartararo is the reigning FIM CEV Repsol Moto3 champion and he enjoyed the day of testing, with his 1’39.392s best lap at the end of the third session putting him ahead of the rest of the field on an updated Honda machine.

Second on the combined timesheet was Danny Kent (Leopard Racing), with the Englishman notching a 1’39.415s, also on a Honda machine, in the second session of the day. Enea Bastianini (Junior Team Gresini Moto3) was third quickest with a 1’39.669s effort on the last of just ten laps registered by the Italian in the final outing.

Niccolò Antonelli (Ongetta–Rivacold) made it an all Honda top four overall with his best time of 1’39.784s. Miguel Oliveira (Red Bull KTM Ajo) was fifth quickest on the new KTM, whilst the top ranked Mahindra rider was Juanfran Guevara (Mapfre Mahindra Aspar Team) in ninth.

A crash from Spanish rider Efren Vazquez (Leopard Racing) in the second session left him with a suspected right foot injury and he was therefore unable to take part in the final session.
