Fiercely quick MotoGP™ mileage at Misano as GASGAS get testing

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.

Testing, testing! #gasgas Factory #racing Tech3 kept high on the throttle for the second one-day test of the 2023 #motogp season and another hot day of duties around the #misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli. Pol Espagraro banked some much-needed time on the #gasgas RC16 and #augustofernandez continued to increase his knowledge and advance his settings with the same racebike.

Pol Espargaro works on improved set-up and feeling with the #gasgas RC16. The Spaniard posted the 17th quickest time during a morning run.
Augusto Fernandez had a full schedule and was able to refine his base setting as well as try some other solutions to increase his level of comfort further with the #37 red rocket. He was 15th fastest.
GASGAS Factory #racing Tech3 wrap a productive day in positive fashion and with better sensations in the wake of a challenging Grand Prix. All sights now set on India.

The workload for the Gran Premio Red Bull di San Marino e della Riviera di Rimini and round 12 of 2023 #motogp had been locked, loaded and fired but there was an extra roster of activities planned for Monday. The #misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli was empty of fans but full of #motogp noise as the teams tested from 9am until the later stages of the afternoon. GASGAS Factory #racing Tech3 took full profit of the occasion – the final stint of action on European soil – before the long flyaway stint of the calendar to help #polespargaro build his belated knowledge and confidence with the #gasgas RC16 after only four GPs since returning from injury. Pol had a crash during Turn 11 but had already tasted improvement through 40 laps.

Augusto Fernandez has been extremely consistent in #motogp this season and his rookie term in the class but wanted to explore more options with the #gasgas RC16 to boost his chances of becoming an established top ten regular in the tight and competitive division. AF37 made a massive 82 laps in his quest and notched the 15th best lap-time once the chrono had stopped.

The crew then started to break down the bikes and pitbox and prepare the freight for international travel and the next seven Grands Prix on the road. First up is the Grand Prix of India at the Buddh International Circuit in two weeks.

Augusto Fernandez, 15th position: “A lot of laps but positive and improving our laps. I feel better with my pace and what I can manage. So, I’m very happy. Thanks to the team for everything and I’m ready for India.”

Pol Espargaro, 17th position: “I was getting a rhythm with some good changes on the bike that I liked. We made some small but important alterations to help with my riding positions and style. We made a reset with the settings which really helped. When I was building up my speed I had a bit of a shake with the bike through Turn 11 and that opened the pads, I lost the brakes and had to jump off. Not a big deal but a pity to end the day in this way.”

Nicolas Goyon, #gasgas Factory #racing Tech3 Team Manager: “A positive test for both of our riders today. For Augusto it was especially important because the Grand Prix format this year with the Sprint format on Saturday doesn’t allow him to ride free and test different settings or styles. Weekend after weekend he has to focus on performance and not the setting, so today was the opportunity to experiment. He rode over 300km, this is quite high mileage. He tried a different engine configuration for the group, he tried different suspension and different tires from Michelin. Overall he was quite happy and this is very good. On Pol’s side he is also missing time on the bike and needed to understand the development direction with the equipment. It was important for him to test and to try some different ergo. Unfortunately he ended the day with a crash due to the situation with the brakes. Anyway, it was also a good session for him. A good effort by the team this weekend. Now it is time to get the crate packed for India and to take some rest before we travel.”

Sebastian Risse, #gasgas Technical Manager: “We focused a lot on electronics and aerodynamics; both for inside the homologation and also for 2024. Also on the engine side we found some very positive aspects, some that we can use right away. Other data will help us to make decisions for the next racetracks for the aerodynamic configuration and for the future. Both guys have done a great job and Pol was unlucky to have a crash that stopped him pushing all the way through the day. Now we need a rest, freshen-up and go full attack again.”
