Portimão Moto3 Test Day 1 Times: Tatsuki Suzuki Fastest On First Day Of Test | MotoMatters.com

Submitted by David Emmett on Sat, 2022-02-19 18:19

Tatsuki Suzuki leads the Moto3 field after the first day of the test at Portimão. The Leopard Racing rider ended the day over a tenth of a second faster than GasGas Aspar's Izan Guevara. Behind Guevara came a gaggle of KTM riders, with BOE's David Muñoz third, ahead of Tech3 KTM's Deniz Öncü and Brazilian rider Diogo Moreira. Moto3 runner up Dennis Foggia was missing from the first day suffering with gastric problems.

The wind was an issue for the Moto3 class, especially at the top part of the circuit between turns 8 and 11. In terms of new parts, KTM have brought new, shorter exhausts to the test, presumably to maintain their dominance in top speed. At Honda, the teams were experimenting with the closed rear wheel again, in search of reduced drag.
