The CFMOTO Aspar Team riders continue to work on the final stretch of the pre-season, with Máximo Quiles and Dennis Foggia taking another step forward in their adaptation to the Moto3 category. Both riders made the most of the good track conditions on a day in which David Muñoz topped the timesheets, followed by Ángel Piqueras and José Antonio Rueda.

After three practice sessions, the CFMOTO Aspar Team duo lapped under 1:45 for a total of 106 laps. Máximo Quiles improved his lap times from the first day and focused on gathering information to be as prepared as possible for his first race in the World Championship. The Spaniard completed 50 laps and set the ninth fastest time of the day, a 1:44.339, in the second session on Wednesday. Quiles, who is getting more and more comfortable with his bike, is showing great consistency throughout this test. At the same time, Dennis Foggia is doing his best to adapt to the category as quickly as possible. The CFMOTO Aspar Team rider completed 56 laps and improved his time by almost two seconds compared to yesterday, setting a time of 1:44.859 to finish in sixteenth position. The Italian is optimistic ahead of the final day of the test, before the competition gets underway in Thailand from February 28th to March 2nd.

 

9th Maximo Quiles 1:44.339 (+0.735, 50 laps): ‘We had another good feeling on the second day of testing. The day was a bit complicated, but I'm very happy with all the information we've gathered to continue to cut some tenths. Tomorrow we'll go out full throttle to make another step forward on the last day of the pre-season.’.

16th Dennis Foggia 1:44.859 (+1.255, 56 laps): ‘Today was a very positive day. We improved a lot compared to yesterday and we were able to lap in 1:44. I'm still adapting to the team, we understand each other better and better and we are making changes that allow me to ride better. I feel very good, we are running on our own, which is the important thing, and tomorrow we will take another step forward.’
