Viñales leads day one of Moto3 testing at Valencia

JHK T-Shirt Laglisse’s Maverick Viñales started his season on board his new KTM in the ideal fashion by topping the timesheets on the first day of Valencia Moto3™ testing ahead of Red Bull KTM Ajo’s Luis Salom and Estrella Galicia 0,0’s Alex Rins.

Viñales, who cited he was very pleased with the KTM’s power, set a best time of 1:40’715, beating KTM factory team new boy Salom by just over a tenth. Salom’s team manager Aki Ajo told motogp.com earlier in the day that the KTM was a “completely new bike”, and that while the engine had had a bit of work done, the chassis was the main change, being both lighter, and having more set-up possibilities.
