[vc_row disable_background_image=””][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]The tests in Portim\u00e3o for the Sync Group SpeedRS Team have just concluded, marking the first phase of preparation for the 2026 Moto2 World Championship season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two days of complex work were affected by unstable weather and a red flag that limited track activity on the second day, making the setup of the B26 particularly challenging.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Lunetta rode on wet asphalt, focusing mainly on feeling comfortable with the bike and adapting to difficult conditions, rather than chasing fast laps. By the end of the test, the rider from Rome completed a total of 86 laps, with a best time of 1\u201946.317.<\/span><\/p>\n

The test was even more limited for Vietti, who did not participate on the first day and completed only 8 laps overall (5th fastest with a time of 1\u201943.413). The second day was interrupted by a red flag which, for safety reasons, did not allow track activity to resume.<\/span><\/p>\n

These circumstances did not allow the two Italian riders to fully carry out the planned work or make the expected progress during this initial phase of preparation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sync Group SpeedRS Team will return to the track on February 16 and 17 in Jerez for the final phase of the official pre-season tests: two crucial days to continue fine-tuning the Boscoscuro and arrive at the start of the new season in the best possible condition.<\/span><\/p>\n

CELESTINO VIETTI #13:<\/b>
\n<\/span>\u201cIt\u2019s a real shame we couldn\u2019t ride more today. We only did one outing, and the feeling was positive. Hopefully, we\u2019ll find good conditions in Jerez so we can build a solid foundation for the 2026 season\u201d.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

LUCA LUNETTA #32:<\/b>
\n<\/span>\u201cI\u2019m satisfied with the two days of testing. It\u2019s a pity about the weather on the second day, because it was important to do more laps on dry asphalt. Hopefully, we\u2019ll have a bit more luck in Jerez, so we can complete more kilometers and get to know the bike even better. I can\u2019t wait to get back on track: full throttle as always!\u201d.<\/span><\/i>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
