2024 Official Jerez Moto2 Test - Tuesday: Results
After Monday's MotoGP test, Moto2 and Moto3 riders took to the Jerez circuit on Tuesday for their official test.
Aspar's Jake Dixon received a confidence boost after a difficult start to the season, topping the test with a time of 1m 40.394s, comfortably under the lap record, during the final session.
"I was really looking forward to this test because during the weekends there is usually not a lot of time to try new things," said Dixon. "We've tried a lot of things, I wouldn't even know where to start, but right now I feel very, very good.
"The team, Kalex and WP [suspension] have done a very good job and together we have found a very positive direction. I have been able to be very fast and I have started to feel like I felt last year. I am very happy, it is incredible.”
Somkiat Chantra, Tony Arbolino and Senna Agius also set their best times in Session 3 to complete the combined top four.
Ai Ogura suffered a huge accident that destroyed his Boscoscuro bike, but is fortunately reported to have escaped serious injury.
