#2026Test – THE SYNC GROUP SPEEDRS TEAM CLOSES PRE-SEASON TESTS IN JEREZ WITH PROMISING RESULTS
The pre-season tests of the Sync Group SpeedRS Team concluded today, with encouraging results and solid foundations in view of the start of the 2026 season.
The first two days in Portugal were affected by bad weather and some technical issues with another rider, limiting track activity. On the other hand, at the Circuito de Jerez Ángel Nieto the conditions were ideal, allowing both riders to work intensively and complete the entire testing program.
The young Roman rider showed consistent progress: on the first day he completed 82 laps, breaking the 1’40” barrier with a best lap of 1’39.960. On the second day, he further improved his performance, completing 71 laps with a time of 1’39.677, reporting a good feeling with the B26 and acknowledging further room for growth.
Celestino, after just a few laps in Portimão, focused his tests in Jerez: 77 laps on the first day with a best time of 1’39.450 and 90 laps on the second day with a lap of 1’39.029, finishing second in the overall ranking for the two days. The number 13 rider expressed satisfaction with the many setups tested and the results achieved, judging the foundations built solid in view of the start of the Championship.
With positive and promising sensations, the Sync Group SpeedRS Team is eager to hit the track next weekend for the first race of the season in Thailand.

“I’m very happy with how the pre-season tests went. Every day we managed to improve step by step, with sessions constantly progressing. Here in Jerez we were able to work hard thanks to the favorable weather, and I have to say that, besides the work, I really enjoyed riding the Moto2. I want to thank the whole team and our sponsors. I can’t wait to get to Thailand and have fun with everyone”.
