RW Racing Review Valencia Moto3 Test day1

With temperatures down to maximum 10 degrees Celsius and a cold, nasty wind RW Racing GP could get all of its to-do-list done. Nonetheless the first day of the official IRTA test in Valencia was not completely lost. Ana Carrasco did around 40 laps, Scott Deroue 42 laps.

Looking at the weather forecast for tomorrow RW Racing GP team manager Jarno Janssen decided it was wiser to narrow down the risk of riders getting hurt and bikes getting damaged. “Next to that we have a restricted amount of tyres we can use over these three days. In these conditions it just doesn’t make sense to make more laps than we did.”

Scott Deroue wasn’t completely fit and complained of head ache. Ana Carrasco didn’t feel comfortable with braking in the corner entries. “It’s better to get everything ready for tomorrow”, Janssen explained. “I prefer Scott to be fit when the conditions are better tomorrow. Last November he was doing laps of 42.0; hopefully tomorrow he can try to get closer to that, when he is fit and the temperatures are less harsh. And for Ana we try to solve the problem with the braking for tomorrow. We’ve got some ideas about that and we want to try some other adjustments as well.”
