First up, the rider that made the biggest leap forward on his new bike: RNF Aprilia’s Raul Fernandez. The Moto2™ record-breaker had a rookie season to forget on KTM’s RC16 but, despite finishing the Valencia Test 1.3 seconds adrift of Luca Marini (Mooney VR46 Racing Team) in 21st, the Spaniard did go over a quarter of a second faster than what he managed at the weekend. Fernandez’s best lap of Grand Prix was a 1:31.598 set in Free Practice 2 and, on only his first day with Aprilia’s RS-GP, the 22-year-old found a further 0.258 at the Test by setting a 1:31.340.
