Jerez Moto2 Test: Jake Dixon fastest in the wet
British Superbike title r🌞unner-up Jake Dixon already looks like one to watch in wet෴ conditions in Moto2 next season, having set the fastest time during a slippery Sunday morning on the final day of the Jerez test.
But, like all the KTM riders, the Englishman is now seeking to match thꦍat performance in the 💟dry.
The top KTM a🍌t the debut Triumph test was factory rider Brad Binder in 13th (+0.941✨s), with new Angel Nieto signing Dixon 28th overall on the combined timesheets (+2.624s).
"Finishing top in the rain is really good, but the next target will be to go topও in the dry," confirmed Dixon, wh♛o is adapting to a new bike, tyres and team.
"The main⛄ thing today was to work on finding a good riding position. We have to improve our🎃 corner entry in the dry, because in the wet we have a very good feeling.
"We’ve had a🦩 good test, the team have done a good job and I can’t wait to get back on the bike - although n🧸ow we will have to wait until 2019.”
Team-mate Xav𒆙i Cardelus was 31st and last on the timesheets, 3.279s behind test leader Luca Marini (Kalex).
The Angel Nieto Team is returning to the intermediat✱e class for 2019, afteꦓr selling its MotoGP grid places to the new Sepang Team.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefron🍬t of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
