Over a dozen riders gathered at the Andalusian track in a three-day test that featured MotoGP, CRT and Moto2 bikes on track jointly. Despite common rain earlier in the week, the first day of testing was held under sun and clear skies, encouraging the riders to grip all they could from the eight hours of work (from 10am to 6:00pm) allotted to them each test day.
Colin Edwards wrapped up his first skill aboard CRT machinery today riding the BMW powered Suter CRT bike of his new team for 2012, NGM Forward Racing. The experienced Texan posted a best time of 1'43.9 during his 39 laps, in his first day of track exploit since getting injured in the tragic accident that also claimed the life of Marco Simoncelli at Sepang. The American was absent for both the Grand Prix of Valencia and end of term Official Test held directly after at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit.
Sharing the track was Yonny Hernandez, who took to the controls of the Kawasaki motor driven BQR FTR motorcycle to turn out a best lap of 1.45.7, and Ivan Silva, who was crowned the Stock Extreme Champion in the Spanish Championship CEV on Sunday, who rode the sample Inmotec machine to register an unauthorized time of 1'45.5 within 40 laps.
