Huertas has become one of Kawasaki’🌱s leading rid🍌ers in the WorldSSP category alongside Can Oncu.

And while Jonathan Rea and Alex Lowes are the headlines names in action for theꦇ Japanese manufacturer on day-two at the Aragon test today, Huertas being on circuit is a clear statement that they see a future with the Spaniard.

Huertas joined KRT test rider Florian Marino on day-one, with Team Manager ♕Guim Roda saying: "We have a plan to test two days to take the opportunity from the track reservation, but we cannot test with Jon🥂ny or Alex due to the rules. 

"We only ﷽have one day available with them, and we de✅cided to use this day on Wednesday. Because we were already here and working like this during the year, we’re going to use Florian as a test rider. 

"He’ll test some ideas and check some items to see how they work, and then implement them wi𒁏th Jonny and Alex."

Regarding Huertas and the exact reasons for having the Supersport rider gain experience on the ZX-10RR, Roda claimed it was a gift due to the success h🎉e’s been having.

Roda added: "At the same time, w🍸e’re using the opportunity with one day extra and one crew chief available. At Most, we spoke with Kawasaki Europe about giving Adrian a chance to test the bike as a gift for the good jo♒b he’s done and how he’s evolving. 

"We’re curious about how he’s abl🅰e to ride the WorldSBK bike🔴. There are more teams aside from Kawasaki with the possibility to bring through young riders. 

"This is more about giving him a gift and then, after that, we can decide in the Kawasaki family whether we can continue helping him t๊o grow u💜p as a rider."
