The team, which will once again include Kevin Zannoni and Jordi Torres, has completed three days of testing in Barcelona.
The Power Electronics Aspar Team faces a new MotoE World Championship season with renewed enthusiasm, unwavering ambition, and the presence, once again, of Kevin Zannoni and Jordi Torres as the protagonists of the challenge in the electric category. The team completed three days of testing in Barcelona, allowing them to fully prepare for the new challenge facing the Power Electronics Aspar Team this year. With four track sessions each day, one of them preparing for Q1 and Q2 and the other as a race simulation, the MotoE riders were able to complete more than thirty laps each day. The fastest over these three days was Italian Matteo Ferrari, with a time of 1:47.365, closely followed by Mattia Casadei, Alessandro Zaccone, and Eric Granado. Ferrari, in fact, won this race simulation, ahead of Casadei and Granado.
Kevin Zannoni and Jordi Torres kicked off with these three days of testing a new year that will feature seven double-header races spread between May and November at circuits across Europe. The Power Electronics Aspar Team riders finished in the top 10 in the three days at the Circuit de Barcelona – Catalunya. The Italian was the fastest of them, with a best time of 1:48.167, which left him eight tenths off Ferrari's time. In these three days of testing, Zannoni completed nearly 100 laps. Jordi Torres, meanwhile, closes out this preseason start with a time of 1:48.316, a tenth and a half behind his teammate, after completing 87 laps. The next objective for the Power Electronics Aspar Team will be the French Grand Prix, on the weekend of May, 10.
7th Kevin Zannoni 1:48.167 (+0.802, 98 laps): “The bike is quite different from last year's, and we had to fight hard to get a good feeling. We have a clear direction to take, but we must keep working until Le Mans to increase our confidence with the bike and be able to fight for good results.”
10th Jordi Torres 1:48.316 (+0.951, 87 laps): “It's been a very positive three-days test. We've worked with the bike's geometry, and this has helped us continue to understand how the tyre works and how we should position our weight on the bike when riding. I'm satisfied with how the team worked, because we've tested a lot of things and now have a lot of information available for this season’s races. We weren't looking for the fastest lap; we were more focused on understanding what's happening on the bike to improve our performance throughout the year.”
