The Estrella Galicia 0,0 Moto3 team took on their fourth and final preseason test for 2020 on Friday at the Losail International Circuit, beginning the second official IRTA outing for the Moto3 field.
Garcia Dols has previous experience in Qatar from the Official Test now a year ago, although he was unable to participate in the Grand Prix itself having not yet reached the minimum age required. Ryusei Yamanaka has also ridden at Losail before, as he replaced his current teammate in that same race.
The track activity took place between 9:15am and 3:50pm local time (GMT + 3), with track temperatures of around 37ºC and winds that reached 23km/h in the first part of the day.
The Estrella Galicia 0,0 Moto3 duo will continue working over two more days in Losail, before officially starting the season with the Qatar Grand Prix at the track on the weekend of March 8th.
SERGIO GARCÍA DOLS – “It was very windy, although the temperature and the grip level were favourable”
“Today was a day or us to get reacclimatised to this circuit, with a front tyre that I had not tried before. I think everything is in shape and now we must work to continue progressing. This first day was very windy, although the temperature and the grip level were favourable”
RYUSEI YAMANAKA – “As the sessions went on I felt more confident”
“We worked step-by-step to get a good feeling on the track. As the sessions went on I felt more confident, which is really positive. At the end of the day I felt even better, so I feel satisfied with the work I have done with my crew.”
