Bastianini Again Among The Fastest At Jerez. Di Giannantonio Slowed By A Minor Crash

On the second day of official Moto3 testing at Jerez, Gresini Racing Team Moto3 racers Enea Bastianini and Fabio Di Giannantonio continued to work on their Honda NSF250RW machines, both putting in 36 laps in the three sessions available today.

At the end of the day Bastianini set 1’46”725, shaving 0.3 seconds to his best performance from yesterday and ending sixth in the combined standings. The 18-year-old rider from Riminin was satisfied of the work done, focused on set-up looking for a better cornering speed. The day was bit more difficult for his teammate Fabio Di Giannantonio: after a good morning session, the 17-year-old rookie from Rome had a slight crash in the second session which compromised also his last outing on track, in the afternoon.

ENEA BASTIANINI (6th – 1’46”725)
“Today we continued to work with a similar set-up to that used yesterday, then we made a change that worked well, so the work continued in that direction; at the end of the day we recorded a good lap time, so we can be satisfied. Surely we still need to work on some areas, especially with regard to our performance with the softer tyre, a situation in which I still can’t make the difference, and also on cornering speed. Tomorrow we will focus on these issues and I’m sure that we can make further progress”.

FABIO DI GIANNANTONIO (29th – 1’48”539)
“The day kicked off quite well this morning: in the first session I set a good lap time, already close to my best performance from yesterday, then unfortunately in the second session I made a mistake and crashed at Turn 5, thus compromising the third and last session. In fact, I spent the afternoon to regain the right feeling with the bike. Too bad, we would have liked to try some set-up solutions today, but it was not possible. We’ll try again tomorrow”.
