Night testing continued today at the Losail International Circuit for the Gresini Racing Team Moto3 ahead of the season opener, scheduled for March 20 on the same track in Qatar. After the good results obtained yesterday, the second day of testing has proved unlucky for Enea Bastianini: the 18-year-old rider from Rimini had a good start on the first session, with the fourth fastest time, then a crash in the second session while trying to overtake Japanese Hiroki Ono compromised the rest of the evening of Enea and his technicians, who were working well on the set up of his Honda NSF250RW machine. Bastianini therefore has not had the chance to improve the lap times achieved yesterday.<\/p>\n
On the other side of the garage, rookie Fabio Di Giannantonio continued to accumulate experience on his first visit at Losail, completing 35 laps today with a best time of 2\u201909\u201d088. The 17-year-old rider from, who set 2\u201908\u201d467 yersterday, will try to improve tomorrow in the third and final day of testing.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe first session started pretty well, then we started the second session using the same tyres. Then we fitted the soft tyres for the first time, but I crashed while trying to overtake Ono. Too bad, we wanted to continue to work on the set up, but it was not possible. In the third and final session we preferred to make just a few laps to regain feeling, to preserve the tyres for tomorrow\u201d.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cYesterday we started off well, but today was a strange day. We faced the first session before sunset, with the track still slippery; in the following sessions, at night, the changes we had made to adapt to those conditions didn\u2019t worked well and so we lost the right direction. Things improved a bit in the last session, but it must be said that I still need to get the right rhythm and I also still need to learn a lot from the other riders. We will try to improve tomorrow\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
