ROSSI MOOR AMONG THE BEST ON THE FIRST DAY OF FREE PRACTICE.
The first race weekend for the American-Hungarian rider Rossi Moor began yesterday on the Motorland Circuit of Aragon, where Rossi will participate in the FIM JuniorGP World Championship in the Moto2 category with Massimiliano Morlacchi’s Team MMR.
This will be the first race weekend for Rossi who returned to Europe after competing this year in the MotoAmerica Championship with Team Hammer’s new Suzuki GSX8-R in the TwinsCup category, finishing fifth overall with four podium finishes including a best race finish of second place.
Yesterday Rossi Moor took part in two free practices of 40 minutes each in which he once again demonstrated his great ability to quickly adapt to the new bike and the new track. Rossi’s crew made some set-up changes compared to the tests of last week, changes that were welcomed by Rossi as he closed the day with a quickest lap time of 1:52.77. The time set by Rossi is absolutely remarkable considering that the Aragon track record for the Moto2 category in JuniorGP is 1:52.65 set by Senna Agius.
Today, on Friday, October 11, Rossi’s program will continue with two more free practices of 40 minutes each where new solutions will be tested to try to further lower the lap times.
Rossi Moor: “I am very happy with the results achieved yesterday, and I thank my Chief Technician Alessandro Finelli and my mechanics Giorgio and Simone, who did a fantastic job on the bike. For today my goal is to remain very focused on the work still to be done because despite having done a good time I believe that the performance of the bike can still be improved. Above all I can improve because having only ridden a few kilometers on the track with this bike I am still not able to use it 100% compared to the other riders who have been riding it for several years.”
Massmiliano Morlacchi (Team Principal): “I am very satisfied with the work done by Rossi and his technicians in constant progression and with continuous improvements in the lap times. I believe that if Rossi stays focused and continues his work in the right direction, he could give us a big satisfaction and do very well!”
