#2026Test – VIETTI AND LUNETTA READY FOR THE START OF THE 2026 PRE-SEASON TESTS IN PORTIMÃO
The SpeedRS Team is ready to return to the track at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve, where on Wednesday, February 11, and Thursday, February 12, they will face two intense days of preseason testing in preparation for the 2026 season.
The weather forecast does not predict ideal conditions, but the program remains unchanged: both riders will take to the track as planned, even in the rain. The goal is clear from the start: to make the most of every available minute, accumulate kilometers, gather essential data, and evaluate the performance of the new components of the Boscoscuro B26 in all conditions.
For Celestino Vietti, in his second season with the team, these tests represent a key step in continuing the work started in 2025. After completing only a few laps in the November tests, Portimão will provide the perfect opportunity to return to consistent work, regain feeling with the bike, and provide the first technical feedback.
Attention is also focused on Luca Lunetta, in his first season with the SpeedRS Team and making his debut in the intermediate category. After the end-of-year tests, the young rider showed a positive approach and good initial feeling with the Moto2, facing this new challenge with enthusiasm, determination, and a strong desire to grow.
These two days will be essential to gain experience and prepare in the best possible way for the start of the 2026 season.

“It’s great to be back. We hope for good weather, but we’re ready to work in any condition to test everything we need. The winter went well, I’ve trained a lot, and I’m very motivated. I can’t wait to get back on track and really start this new season”.
LUCA LUNETTA #32:
“I’m very motivated and eager to get started. It was great to reunite with the whole team and start working seriously to build the foundations for the future. The winter was positive, I managed to train well, and now it’s time to focus and give my best, even if the weather isn’t ideal”.
