Jerez Test, Day 2 – Laptimes

Day 2 at the test in Jerez once again saw the Aspar riders dominating the field.
Mapfre Aspar rider Alvaro Bautista went considerably faster around the track than yesterday and came close to the lap record of the 2008 race. He was also the only rider to lap under 1’44 minutes and almost 0.6 seconds faster than Hiroshi Aoyama on the Scot Honda. 250cc rookies Gabor Talmacsi and Mike Di Meglio also improved their laptimes a lot – Di Meglio going about 2 seconds faster – and clocked the third and fourth fastest laptimes.

The 125cc field was lead again by Aspar riders Julian Simon and Bradley Smith while team veteran Sergio Gadea did good progress and finished fifth fastest of the day.

The test at Jerez will conclude tomorrow.
