It was another productive day for the NGM Mobile Forward Racing Team with Colin Edwards focused on the overall development of the machine and Aleix Espargaró, focusing on knowing better the bike and its limits.
Aleix continued to impress with a very good lap time (2’00.547), finishing in the top 5, at only 6 thousands from Marc Marquez, today the fastest rider on track, and second rider with a machine powered by Yamaha.
Aleix Espargaró worked on the chassis and tested several tyres in order to improve the general feeling of the bike, while his team mate Colin Edwards worked on the chassis and the electronics, completing 35 laps and finishing 15th (2.02.545).

“Today we worked mainly on chassis and electronics. We are working step by step as the bike is not turning as I would like, but I’m confident as we are working in the right direction”.
Aleix Espargaro
“I’m very satisfied because this morning I could improve my lap times and I was riding with a good confidence. Of course there is a lot of work to do, I need to know better the bike and to adapt my riding style to the new machine. Tomorrow we will do a long run to understand better how the bike and especially the electronics work in the second part of the race”.
