KTM riders new and old test their 125cc machines in Valencia

01 febbraio 2008

Not only Red Bull KTM factory rider Randy Krummenacher but also riders from KTM-supported teams were out in force at the just concluded three day tests in Valencia.
Krummenacher of Switzerland said he was satisfied with the work and the tests. "We went harder on the second day and put in some good lap times. On day three we made some good steps with the chassis and I was easily able to put in a 40.6 lap time, which was faster than in the GP in Valencia last year."
 
Pre season tasks
But Krummenacher said there was still a lot of work to do for him and on the bike. "It usually takes be a while to get going again after the winter break and to settle down and get my rhythm. Here is Valencia I was working 50% on myself and 50% with my data guy in order to find a good chassis setup.
 
New team for Koyama
Tomoyoshi Koyama, still on a KTM but in 2008 racing for the KTM-supported Seedorf Team wound up both day two and three with the fastest time in the final hour of testing. "We had some chattering and sliding early in the tests but we made some adjustments to the front setting and it improved a lot. I was able to go a second faster and was able to clock 1:39.7 constantly." Koyama said he was very happy in his new team where he has two Japanese mechanics. "That makes communication much easier for me," he said.
 
Many more KTMs on the circuit
Other KTM riders on the circuit putting in test laps and getting used to their bikes were Marc Marquez (Repsol KTM), Koyama's teammate at Seedorf Lorenzo Zanetti and Rafaele de Rosa and Pablo Nieto of Team Scott.
