Jorge Navarro makes track debut with Marc VDS at Indianapolis

The Marc VDS Racing Team’s Moto3 squad returned to the track after the three-week summer break with the debut of new rider Jorge Navarro on the opening day of practice at the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Spaniard Navarro enjoyed an encouraging if somewhat challenging Moto3 debut to finish 22nd quickest on the timesheets.

Rain disruptions in both sessions didn’t make the challenge of adapting to a new team, bike or circuit any easier but he acquitted himself well to finish just 0.3s outside of the top 20.

“Today was a fantastic day for me to make my debut with the Marc VDS Racing team. It is such a high level team and I really enjoyed working with the crew. Everything is new with the team, the bike and the track but I am satisfied with my performance given the conditions were not ideal in both sessions with the rain. If we can improve braking and corner entry to give me more confidence I am sure I can make a good step tomorrow.”
